You probably have a tall Namwah. It takes a bit more to winterize the taller ones. Dwarf Namwah and Raja Puri are short enough I can frame the outside of the plant with plastic fencing and drop grass clippings inside the fencing and wrap with plastic around outside. This makes a good barrier of protection during the hard part of winter. The decaying grass clippings form a heat. This way you have a good start in the spring and the plant is not spending most of the summer to get tall enough to bloom. I also blend my own Fertilizer. I work at it but yes I do get fruit.
