Preskiopsis to Ny in winter ?
« on: January 21, 2016, 03:37:30 AM »
 What do you think will a Pereskiopsis cutting survive shipping to a area with a average daytime temp. below freezing ?

I have 5 something in a prepaid account that I must close out, and would like a Pereskiopsis but not sure if it will survive the trip florida to south Ny.

I would say yes.

Only because I don't have room inside for some of mine so three have sat outside all fall and winter here.  Im zone 7 and its been mild so far but we have had at least three days with lows in the teens, like today.

I plan on documenting the whole thing so I am taking temps and tracking average temps but so far I am surprised.

USPS and FedEx are pretty good about keeping things from freezing. I just got a trich cutting a few days ago when the high was about 20F, and it is fine. The shipping companies are so competitive that stuff doesn't sit around on docks and all for long, so as long as you can collect them at the door you should be fine.

 They pulled the listing of the cheap 1 I was going to buy anyway.

 Oh, well I guess I will just wait a few months anyway

just hold out for a month or two if you can. There will be plenty to go around in a while.
