ThanksOutside. It would help to know where you are in texas to give you any more help... but definitely outside.
If you don't feel comfortable listing your location you can list what zone you are in.
Low 30’s??? I leave my olive outside until it falls into the low 30’s. Junipers can handle being in frozen soil for months on end... a winter in Houston founds like a vacation for junipers.
That's every day here.Not a vacation for junipers when its high 60's and four hours later it's 30 degrees
That's every other day during the colder months here in N GA. The rest of the days, the days swing from 40 to 20 degrees and back again the next day... freeze at night and thaw by early afternoon. Mine stay on my bench unless it's falling into the teens, and some of my junipers will actually put on a little bit of growth during the typical winter here. In my 20 + years keeping bonsai, both here and in MA, I've never had to bring a juniper inside for winter protection, and in MA they would be frozen for months on end and see sub zero temps every winter... never lost one to winter cold or noted any damage related to the cold. All I'm saying is they're tougher then you may think.Not a vacation for junipers when its high 60's and four hours later it's 30 degrees. I leave my junipers outside until it freezes over then at that point it's time to get them out of the harsh wind, so against the house an under mulch or in the garage.
