Abstract Seasonal changes in cold-resistance in five Proteaceae: Gevuina avellana, Lomatia hirsuta, Lomatia dentata, Lomatia ferruginea and Embothrium coccineum were studied in the Botanical Garden, Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia, Chile. All species presented such changes in relation to the minimum air temperatures but not in relation to rainfall. Cold-resistance increased together with the temperature decrease from March to May. Maximum resistance was observed in winter (June to August). The spring temperature increase caused a decrease of cold-resistance, which reached its maximum from spring (November) to summer (December to February). The results obtained for cold-resistance correspond to the weather conditions found in natural biotopes of the species.
