Ditto- But I'm just Mentioning my Perrinial Type Plants, that I have Kept Not just going for many yrs but Super Big in size as what they are from their Original warm yr round Orgins/County. I did it just as a Challange , Test to see and its worked and being Cheap . While saved the Money ( Ave $100) Rebuying them every year, I paid for it in Time and Effort .. and have you ever seen "Spikes" 4-5 ft Tall, like Mini Palm Trees? Or the same 5 ft tall Gerrainiums? or 6 ft accross Asparagus Plants? Not only blow the minds of Family and friends vistiing, but I bring one of them to our Annual-late Summer Garden show in town and have won an award every yr these past 5 yrs..Nobody has a Such Large ones as I have ! Especially all the Women & Pro's that have been doing Gardening alot longer than I have. I got One Pro Gardening Business doing the same now and they are catching up with the size of mine now! Went into their lace last Feb. and saw them in their Place/Atrium....selling for $100-$150 each! Germs 5x bigger than the usual $25 baskets with Stalks the size of Small Tree trunks! Takes Loopers to cut them or a hand saw! Just like Growing those 500-1,000 Lb Pumpkins! I grew them too for 5 yrs ! my Biggest was only 465 lbs..but started the Annual Largest Privately -Locally Grown Pumpkin contest in our town ! This Season? the Biggest was 678 lbs! by some 83 yr old Woman, that nursed it like it was one of her Grandkids, she said..! And since we're a Lake Resort town? The Great Pumpkin Boat Race was held this Yr for the 1st time too! 8 entered to win the $100 1st prize, $50/2nd and $25 for 3rd and Alot of Laughs! by the Jaycees! Special Prize ribbon went for the sexiest Owner- a 61 yr old former Playboy Bunny woman ( The Playboy Club Resort was in our town ), she did that job for its last 2 yrs in business here and She still looked GREAT in her Old Bunny Costume no less! Maybe she let out alittle In the Butt and alittle more support in the chest and wore a Wig, but her Bunny Tail & Ears were very cute & Sexy! ;-)

The 2/3 buried in depth pebble idea is understood as a mixed opinion from me having minor pros and cons Pros are sudden wind gust pot tipping prevention for pot stabilizing. Ultimately this method does help prevent root burning Cons The pebbles retain moisture if/ when they get moisture/wet also decreasing better air circulation and slows the added heat build up the plants and roots seem to enjoy. Neutral is knowing that pots also are available in heavier thicker, more stable in a wide selection of shapes and common colors and also have very good low profile ventilation. Total paranoia is seeing after math of what happened to wind out there two years ago Not that you'll need to re-pot the non eventful accidental broken pot, but just in case. Pots on a budget Ocean State Job Lot is where I found common T-Clay to be in better quality and weight than the other big box and crafting stores Thinking if you've been to and saw Logees set up of rail dividers to hold pots up for easier inventory finding you'd be able to use thin threaded pipe or something to make shift this idea for small or tipsy pot stability. Feeding into the mini garden idea there is nothing wrong with three -four haws in a 2 or 3 inch deep x 10 inch oval bonsai dish. Distracting from the mini garden idea is knowing different haws may also have different root depth while having nearly the same water sun needs but would require added depth for roots in the pot size example.

Fred, you should be fine putting them out as long as you watch the nightly low temps like some say nothing below 40, least thats what i do in my cold climate. Reason for the questions if they had leaves you can damage them in cold windy nite temps that hover below 40 or so , if young and wood is green from being newly rooted in winter then harm will come if not brought in at night when temps dip. But yours should be fine according to your description. Best Luck

I keep my jades on a plant shelf under an overhang facing south, so they get a good deal of sun, but are protected from most rain, wind, and other hazards like the Pete foresaken robins that crap on everything. I keep some under our gazebo as well, which also provides protection, but a few go out in the open to get the most sun possible, line my Madagascar Palm. I just keep an eye on the weather and move them to a protected area if the weather has a chance to get rough or excessively wet. I err on the side of caution because my plants mean a lot to me and I can't have them getting hailed on or tore up in a storm. Joe
