I collected Aloe arborescens cuttings from a roadside in Kaş and rooted them. Now the real question: can they survive winter outdoors in Sakarya? A field experiment begins.
Aloe arborescens cuttings collected from Kaş (Mediterranean coast), rooted successfully in sandy soil. The plant tolerates brief cold down to -5°C to -8°C. Sakarya winters average -3°C to -7°C but can dip to -15°C in extreme years. Plan: overwinter 2 plants outdoors (south-facing wall, well-drained spot) as an experiment, keep the rest in pots as backup. Results to follow.
