Do you know what species you have? There are a couple of rather large
specimens of P. macrophyllus on the Texas A&M campus, zone 8. This
suggests that if you can get them to a fairly large size, they ought
to be fine unless you have a freak freeze. (A little Googling suggests
hardiness to zone 8 to 10) AFAIK, they aren't fussy as to fertilizer
and are rather shade-tolerant. They will not flower, being
gymnosperms. There are separate male and female plants, if I remember
correctly. If you have one of each sex, you may see fleshy-arilled
seeds on the female when it is old enough.
