Can A Crown Of Thorns Be Transplanted In The Ground From A Pot?

Question

I have a crown of thorns plant and it’s overgrown in the pot,can I transplant in the ground?

Answer 1

I am afraid that you are right outside of their habitable zone. A cooler than normal year may damage the plant pretty badly.

They can tolerate pruning, both root and top. Just be sure to do this when the weather is mild, and not at either extreme.
