The number one restraint that prevents many gardeners from purchasing and ordering fruit trees in Connecticut is the cold weather, Since a fruit tree can unnaturally leaf out during winter warm-ups (indian summer) and extreme cold winters can define CT. as being in USDA zone 5 and 6. The most important decision to make in gardening or planting is to select the proper tree or vine that will not be killed by frigid winters. Most gardeners and home owners want to plant a bush or a tree that is a fast growing plant or tree so that a fruit, berry or nut crop can be harvested sooner or that the house will get shaded faster, A choice looms of whether to plant a larger tree or to select a fast growing tree. On the surface this appears to be a logical plan, but a Catch 22 surfaces. A fast growing plant or tree produces considerably less lignin or cellulose that is trans-located and affixed inside the cell wall of the tree, so that the plant will be more likely injured or killed by extreme winter temperatures, if it is a CT fast growing tree. Slow growing trees harden off fast in the fall for winter survival and Slow growing is often the best choice to make in tree selection. During some winters the temperature can plummet to minus 20 degrees F., and many fruit tree cultivars can be damaged or even killed, or if the temperature drop is sudden enough following a brief warm up, such as an 'Indian Summer' event.
