Tall Orinoco blooming at ten feet of pstem, now the digging the 100+ pound stems and sticking them under the house in winter was worth it lol.

That's really cool! Good job! Will the fruit have enough time to ripen before winter?

Thanks! I believe so, I think there is time before frost. I read somewhere about 4 months but not sure, anyone know the amount of time needed?
