Hiya Re: Is there any difference of cold hardiness etc. between TC and sucker pup?

That's an interesting question.
If you think about it a sucker pup grows exposed to all the elements and has time to learn to cope with weather, temperature and humidity variations etc.

A TC pup is grown in sterile conditions so has to experience shock once exposed to the elements no matter how carefully it is introduced to the real world.

I suspect therefore that a sucker pup is probably more hardy however proving it is another matter altogether !
