Smile Re: Northern growers: patupi progess reports?

Give the plant 3-5 years to really determine the characteristics of its growth in zone 6

That is 2-5 grow cycles in our zone 5,6,

I am at 2 cycles with my plants in ground.....and containesr overwintering in my home with a couple of other plants.

Still I do not think this plant will bloom,and have edible fruit in one season.

Our grow window is 170-+ frost to frost the rest is downtime...

The plant does pup though.....

I have some Viente Cohols At 6 grow cycles and still nothing......very temperature dependent.

I am ready to toss this one in the compost pile but the foliage is so awesome.

ORINOCOS in zone 5/6 are the go to plant for a flower .....but no fruit....LOL


But there is hope........

These are Zone 6 thoughts.....


Thoughts from the Pros?
