Thanks, Mark.

I'm not that concerned with late frosts because they do rebloom. The issue will be that the ENTIRE tops may be killed regularly during the winter. This would more likely be true of young trees. Maybe once they are established, only parts of the top would die but it is very iffy here whether they can ever get that established.

Regards,

Jay

That is a huge difference. Jujubes fruit on the current years growth. They
indicated late frost in spring had damaged new growth however more leaves and
blooms push and they still got a crop. Also, early and mid season ripening
varieties are best for northern NM since the late varieties will not ripen in
time.
The article I mentioned did not include trial results. It is too early for
results, however some have fruited for six years straight. They have
established trials around the state which will hopefully include your
elevation.

First frost can be late May or even a touch the first week of June. Last
frost maybe end of Sept or as late as mid-Oct if we get lucky. It's about two
months shorter than 20 minutes away in town!

How long is the growing season at 7000 feet in New Mexico?

Any chance of learning which cultivars survived at the Sustainable Ag Science
Center in Alcalde?

Thanks, Mark. I had seen
the original research report. I thought Alcalde
was more like 5000 but could be wrong. I think
I remember the report
saying that they
weren't getting fruit at Alcalde.
In any case you inspired me to write directly
to Dr. Yao to see what she
thinks.
This is one of the things I
appreciate about this list so much. Great
expertise and enthusiasm among you all!!

Jay

cultivars at the Sustainable Ag Science Center in Alcalde.
It is at least 5700 ft elevation. They referenced a
hardiness to -30C or -22F.

at 7000 feet. There are a number of trees that I've

which get their tops killed in the winter. I think it's
a combination of temperature (record lows have been -25),
wind, strong sun, dryness, thaw and freeze. The trees that
have topped-killed include Illinois Everbearing mulberry,
American persimmon, and walnuts. The American persimmons
eventually get tough enough growth to survive, but any
grafted plants lose the grafted portion.
