Can someone give me a guaranteed way of winterizing to get fruit eventually? It can get into the teens here sometimes but we have long and hot summers about 7 to 8 months out of the year. Please help and thank you!
keeping them alive where you are is the largest part of the battle. it depends on YOU, how far your willing to take it and how much knowledge you have at the present time to keep these plants alive. those plants do not readily grow in your zone, you can do it but nobody can guarantee anything. large climate controlled green house would be a start.
