Did you even see any frost this past winter in that part of town? Didn't seem like it when i'd check temps. on the coldest mornings and glanced at some stuff through a fence during a quick stop at Tohono Chul while in town for one of the Gem & Mineral show events.

We had a very mild winter and seems to have been that way the last few years. I think maybe 2 or 3 mornings where temps got close to 30 and just briefly before the sun came up to warm things up. I think we’ve been spoiled for a while now. It’s just a matter of time our luck will change and bring us back to reality on what we really are not capable of growing in Tucson.

I still remember enjoying a group of Jacarandas at the La Encantada shopping center and then they got wiped out by a really cold freeze. Haven’t seen any Jacarandas in Tucson since LOL

    Check the UA Campus Arboretum, 25 are listed as being planted there.

    Sounds odd, but, i myself consider Jacaranda more marginal than even Royal Poinciana. Both handle what cold i've seen well, but 2020 / 23 -type summers = brutalized Jacarandas, even my neighbors' big, well established specimens.. Royal Poinciana shrug at that kind of heat ..or have so far..

    Potential for those occasional checks on the warmer winters aside, thinking winters like last year < ..overall mildness vs. future episodes of 100 / 100+ heat ..in Feb and / or March.. > are likely going to be the norm going forward.

    I'm actually going to trial Coffee in tubs, outdoors this year, lol.
