Hello,
I live in the Sandhills of NC - Cold Zone - Lower South and what I hear referred to for the heat zone 7b (almost 8)
I planted 4 orinocos this spring. I am not sure where you measure for the tree height, but going by where the leaves are coming out (vs the highest spot the top leaf end hits) 2 are about 6 feet high, 1 is 7 feet and the other about 8 feet.
I need to learn how to winter them over and where to transplant the pups (4-6 of them I think) to (inside where? in pots outside mulched and covered?)
I think I am supposed to cut the mothers down if I read a diagram correctly and then cover and mulch them, but where do I cut them off?
I'll be reading, but if anyone has some favorite posts that answer those questions, let me know.
Thanks:
