This is my contestent, California Gold. Picture is taken today. I removed only the outer layers on the pstem and the cigar leaf to show how good it survived this winter so far. At the moment I remove the cloth during the day, but there were no freezes in the last time. Still no growth. pstem is 30 cm.



@ Kostas: You may be right, that I'm in 9a here in Thessaloniki and for sure at least in 9b in Skiathos. Skiathos had no freezes this winter. Absolute low was between 1 and 2 °C. Weather History Skiathos 2011 So this year was even more a 10a/b winter there. I think my Ice Cream should have done well. I haven't seen it since the end of October.
