Yes, mine grow very slowly if at all during this period. One of them is loaded with fruit though, and drops a 1/2 ripe one about every 10 days. These continue to ripen indoors for another week and are very tasty.

Oh sorry, that's no good. I've seen that happen in some local gardens -- esp. to the strawberry types. I also expected this "Solo" cultivar to fail. If the temperature drops below freezing I'm sure the plant will wither and die.
