And so will every plant you plant... whether it be a so called SHORT CYCLE plant which you will see on this forum. A short cycle plant will produce a flower in about 12 months......and another 4 or 5 months for edible fruit.
I have had all these so called Short cycle plants for a few years.......in my zone to test them for the Forums which have been supplied to me from members.
You are fishing!!!!
I do not understand your freeze challenge..... most plants north of you fruit.
And all plants fruit south of you fruit also!!.
The question is what is you doing wrong to make this plant not fruit or flower in your area.
The plant in question fruits like crazy in your area. ..... north south ,east and west
Please post a few photos of your plants .....
