Hardiness: USDA Zone 8-11
(Not frost-hardy – protect in winter if temperatures drop below 32°F)
Light:
- Full sun is best – at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Can tolerate partial shade, but fruit production and growth will slow.
Temperature:
- Keep outdoors year-round in zones 8-11.
- If temperatures drop below 32°F, protect the tree by bringing it into a garage, for example.
- Avoid indoor environments—Kinzu needs fresh air and natural light to thrive.
Watering:
- Water when the topsoil feels slightly dry, ensuring even moisture.
- Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but do not keep it soggy—well-draining soil is essential.
Winter Protection (Cold Climates - Zone 7 or Colder):
- If you live in colder climates (below Zone 8), Kinzu must be overwintered in a cool, bright area—Please research online for your best options.
- Do not keep indoors as a houseplant—it needs cool dormancy in winter to stay healthy.
