Cold-tolerance figures describe established trees under brief exposure. Young trees are damaged at far milder temperatures, and every figure here shifts with rootstock, soil and how the tree has been grown.
Growing Zutano
- Do not plant it expecting Hass-grade fruit — its job is usually pollination.
- Vigorous growth means regular pruning.
