What I am trying to say is that maybe I already have a cold tolerant lady finger variety acclimatized to this type of climate without knowing. The weather in Japan during summer doesn't differ from the Philippines or Malasya, it's very hot and humid. The winter is the problem, because we get cold freezing winds from Siberia. The Raja Puri didn't do well after I grafted them because they are extremely tropical. But my lady finger as it is already acclimatized to a subtropical climate and has more similarities to the musa basjoo is doing better. It just a supposition, though.
