October 23, 2021Q.Looking For Answers On A Teak Tree.
My family is about to move up to northern USA where its much colder most of the year, and im looking to plant teak trees. ive done a lot of research, but the stump (pun intended) i keep hitting is that its a tropical tree with low frost resistance. i figure ill start my trees in my house until theyre barely big enough to push through the door, but how can i be sure they wont freeze and die? i cant find much information on how an older tree can withstand the cold. any help is very appreciated

Certified ExpertA.You could try using bonsai techniques, but the most likely situation is going to be that a different tree is chosen. The tree gets massive, and it cannot withstand temperatures outside of subtropical or the higher end of the temperate regions. Unfortunately, where you intend to move is so far outside of the tree's range that you would need to keep it indoors for quite a good portion of the year.
I would, highly, advise seeking to plant a tree that can survive in the area. Make sure that it falls within the USDA zone of the town that you end up moving to.

June 21, 2022Q.Do You Know Where I Can Buy A Teak Tree?
I'm searching for a friend and helping to look to buy a teak tree for a store in Jacksonville, FL. Any suggestions? I can only find seeds but not a small tree about a couple of feet.

Certified ExpertA.As a publisher of gardening information, we don't provide retail recommendations. Your best bet would be to research this on the Internet or talk with a local gardening center - they may be able to order a teak tree for you. Here's some info about growing teak trees:

January 2, 2024Q.My Tea Tree Plant Is Not Looking Well
I live in North Qld near a beach and my new Tea Tree plant recently put in the ground is looking very sad.I am a block back from the beach so reasonably sandy soil. Full and partial sun. What can I do to rejuvenate the plant ? Thank you, Steve

January 2, 2024A."Looking very sad" is a conditon that is difficult to diagnose. If you meant that you have a camellia sinensis growing in sandy soil, consider if you have reently done a soil assay to ensure there are no nutrient deficiencies or toxicities. Also ensure that the plant gets morning sun until about 11am only, has acidic & evenly moist soil at a depth of 10 cm year around and has 7-10 cm of organic mulch. Test the soil at a depth of 10 cm almost daily in the morning on its first summer.
