Its ability of low temperature resistance is weak, and the north climate is cold, so it is not suitable for planting. However, if the insulation measures can be done well, the winter can be safely carried out. Prune branches and reduce nutrient consumption when planting in winter. Spray water and apply fertilizer to warm the roots. Then cover its branches with straw felt to prevent the cold wind from blowing to the plant. In addition, pay attention to water control in winter to prevent soil freezing.
