Best grown outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 10b to 12, some growers have also had success in zone 10a. While preferring temperatures between 65° and 80° degrees Fahrenheit, elephant tusks can handle a temperature as low as 45° degrees Fahrenheit but will start to suffer if exposed to temp...
Alfalfa is classified into fall dormancy groups, numbered 1 to 10 that can be fitted into the plant hardiness zone map. Dormancy group 1 is very dormant and suited for cold climates (such varieties stop growing and go dormant over winter), and dormancy group 10 is very non-dormant and ...
The present invention provides an important tool for the expression of DNA molecules of choice in plants. This will increase the potential for development of pathogen resistant cultivars of coffee, and improve other characteristics of coffee plants, such as hardiness, production, and cup quality, whi...
