Hi wingman,

I live in PA about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia. I have successfully overwintered basjoo plants outdoors and stored dwarf orinoco in my basement (bare root). I'd say either of these would be good for someone to start growing.

In my opinion, pots get heavy and are hard to move. I also end up having to water pots more than plants in the ground. So I only put plants in pots when I have to bring them inside for winter.

As far as pineapples go, perhaps try an exotic tasting one like the Kaui Sugarloaf. I'm trying to grow one of these myself.

Regards

Erik G
