climate zone 6 in Los Angeles, CA. The only fruit tree that I know might survive in London is the mulberry. There are some that are cold resistant. See if you can find an everbearing mulberry. Those are awesome! Also loquat trees are frost resistant including their fruits. You can grow those in planters. I read that black sapote is not cold tolerant, so please study that first unless you have an amazing greenhouse. One tree that I can recommend is the Chinese kumquat. That is cold hardy plus it's small enough that you can bring inside for extreme freezing weather. The Chinese Meiwa kumquat is sweeter and juicier than the Nagami kumquat. The peel is so delectable to eat.

@@gardenbliss6638 Thank you for your response. In London we now have a USDA zone 8b - 9 ... mostly. Near to me is a large Avocado with very large fruit on it. .. Every now and again we get hit with below zeroC temps so when I get my Black Sapote I will keep in a pot. (I'm also after a White Sapote) I have a white shahtoot mulberry which has produced and is SUPER sweet. Like pure sugar. But your Pakistani and Persian Mulberry look incredible, my brother has these but I have not tasted the fruit. I do have 3 Loquat trees, Tanaka, Algerie and Peluche. 2 of which have set fruit over the last few weeks, so fingers crossed I get to taste a Loquat for the first time. In April I shall be driving to Italy to visit the Oscar Tintori citrus nursery so I will try and get those Kumquats you suggest.

@@MoebiusUK I have lived in California my whole life, so I have no experience with growing in the snowy climates. Nice to hear you can grow avocados there! I did not know that there were different varieties of loquats. I love raw cold loquat blossom infusion tea when there are too many blossoms. I just place the blossoms in room temperature glass distilled water and hours later, it is a heavenly drink! I reuse the same blossoms for more raw tea later. Thank you for sharing!

@@gardenbliss6638 You're a wealth of knowledge. I had no idea the flowers could be used in such a way. I will be trying this. London doesn't really have a snowy climate (more rainy). When I was a kid in the 80's it would snow most winters, alas the climate has changed dramatically and we rarely see snow in the city, December 2022 was an exception and we got 2 days of -7 C 🥶this was in stark contrast to our summer where we hit +40C for the first time in recorded history. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel as you have lots of interesting content new to me and I love learning new things. 👍🏽

Hi, this tree has grown in zones 9 and 10, near Los Angeles, CA. Also in zone 6 for a period of time.

yes, but the coast ensured the temps weren't too high. Really depends on how hot the sun is. You should be prepared to move your tree within a day or two if it's not doing well.

I don't know hold old the tree is but this is the second year fruiting. It was a small tree when I got it, maybe a year or two, so maybe the tree is 3-4 years old now.

Ae Ania Thanks for the reply :D

I fertilized my tree weekly. I think this is the key to getting more fruit because I am letting my friend care for my potted tree and she hasn't been fertilizing so just a handful of flowers have developed into lasting fruits even though this is the second year of fruiting which should yield more not less. I didn't always use the same fertilizer, and sometimes I even used compost tea and worm castings. Also the soil I used in the pot was soil I made from rich compost, which is key for healthy roots. When I listen to people who grow successful tropical fruit trees in pots, they add soil additives like rock dust and worm castings, etc. Whether your trees are in pots are in the ground, you have to feed them. I learned this also from my lebanese mulberries. Without feeding the trees, the fruit is sparse and sometimes not very juicy. If your trees are in the ground, the easiest way to feed them is to dig a compost hole next to the tree and sometimes two or more and bury your old food in the compost holes. I learned when I feed them too much nitrogen, the leaves can get damaged, but when not enough nitrogen, there is not enough growth. Eventually you get to know your trees and what they need.

@@gardenbliss6638 Thank you for responding to my question, I do admit that I haven't fed them on a regular schedule. Just some occasional osmocote. I will start a regular feeding schedule and chart it so that I don't forget.
