Hello
Would my large aloe arborescens survive the winter in a pop-up cold greenhouse please?
I can't get it indoors; it's too heavy for me to manage.
I'm in the south west, and apart from last year, winters are pretty mild.
Thanks!

Are there any other hardy aloes apart from aloe striatula?
I'm intrigued as to whether there are other aloes that are reasonably hardy in the UK?

Aloe striatula vs Bamboo
