Hello, It's been a while since I posted. I would like to know if the Dewy Pine can be grown outdoors in Temecula, Southern California. I would say my climate is an intermediate between desert and mediteranean. I do get intense sun here with low humidity, but I heard the Dewy Pine has a rep for favoring dryness. On average, it rains about 14 inches here from November-May. Days with 100 degrees F heat and 5% humidity punctuates the summer seasons and in the event of an offshore wind. Here is a chart of my climate for your comments:
Month High Low Average Humidity (min.-max.)
January 71.7°F (22.1°C) 40.3°F (4.6°C) 52.9°F (11.6°C)35%88%
February 68.2°F (20.1°C) 42.2°F (5.6°C) 53.0°F (11.7°C)45%93%
March 72.7°F (22.6°C) 45.6°F (7.5°C) 57.1°F (13.9°C)45%93%
April 73.0°F (22.8°C) 47.6°F (8.7°C) 58.6°F (14.8°C)50%95%
May 79.5°F (26.4°C) 53.3°F (11.8°C) 64.3°F (17.9°C)46%94%
June 83.4°F (28.5°C) 56.5°F (13.6°C) 68.1°F (20.1°C)44%94%
July 89.9°F (32.2°C) 60.2°F (15.7°C) 72.9°F (22.7°C)34%90%
August 91.7°F (33.2°C) 61.5°F (16.4°C) 74.3°F (23.5°C)31%89%
September 90.3°F (32.4°C) 58.9°F (15.0°C) 71.8°F (22.1°C)31%87%
October 82.7°F (28.2°C) 53.0°F (11.7°C) 64.9°F (18.3°C)41%91%
November 75.8°F (24.3°C) 44.5°F (6.9°C) 57.3°F (14.0°C)41%86%
December 71.3°F (21.8°C) 38.9°F (3.9°C) 52.2°F (11.2°C)44%92%
An alternative would be to grow them on my windowsill wich gets enough sun for peppers, pitchers, pygmies, and many other cp's. Will this be enough sun for the dewy pine?
