    Hi guys,

    Picked up a lovely young Acacia Dealbata in a garden centre a couple of weeks back.

    have been doing some research and it seems that it will not tolerate frost at all.

    I was wondering if I kept it in it's pot, would I be able to just bring it inside for the winter? I could wrap it I suppose but I aim to keep it in a pot and it keep it pruned back so it stays small(ish)

    Any tips would be very much appreciated!

    Ewww, that is a pretty tree! I'd want to save it too!

    I would definitely find a place for it winter-over

    Joe Caudex, I can't answer your question but that sure is a nice tree. It has personality.

    Do you have a garage to keep it in?

    They can survive some frost for short periods, epecially in a sheltered spot. However your best bet is a pot and then a frost free place for winter. Keep away from central heating.
