I have a couple of these guys (
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvw94c870e...023.jpg?dl=0)- this is one of the more grown pups from the largest one, whose pseudo stem is about 6’ tall at this point.
I grow them mostly for the novelty value, but I’m curious if I could get this one to fruit eventually. I am thinking of moving it to a warm spot next to the house as the temps start to drop in late fall, and using frost cloth (and maybe old style Christmas lights or something?) to keep it warm over winter.
I’m in the sf Bay Area of California and we rarely get a freeze warning and never a hard freeze (climate change aside, of course, who knows going forward).
My question is, is it worth the effort? Could these even fruit in pots that aren’t gigantic? I have a tiny suburban backyard and zero room for huge pots or in-ground planting. I just more wanna know if they’re just destined to be decorative or if I should give it a shot, and if so, what should I do?
