Re: Storing pollen

Re: Hardy Aloes in the UK garden
I'd have thought that list of nearly 30 would have kept you busy for a while :) There is a chap on SW Cornwall, Marazion, I think his name is Mike Harvey, who grows an astonishing range of aloes outside. I think he has hybridised lots, too. Might be worth trying to track him down - I've lost touch ...

Re: Hardy Aloes in the UK garden
I try to increase their chances of survival by planting near the
garden wall, improving the drainage and covering the plants with bubble wrap for winter. It always is a lot of work but usually it pays off.
Are there any Aloe hybrids you think might be hardy which are available to buy from UK sellers?

Re: Hardy Aloes in the UK garden
There is a list of hardy Aloes by Brian Kemble that can be found on the internet. I wonder how the minimum temperatures listed there compare to the UK weather conditions. More than a dozen species from the list can withstand the temperature lower than -4 deg C.

Hardy Aloes in the UK garden
What is your experience in growing Aloes outdoors. Which Aloe have you already tested and had success with. What minimum temperature it survived without leaf damage? I grow several Aloe plants in my garden in Devon which I cover with a bubble wrap from November to February to protect from rain and f...
