Seems this one is edible - when fully ripe
Grows to 5-6' high, maybe up to 8' ?
So it could grow in my greenhouse
EBay has Wellspring Gardens that has them for $6 + shipping
5-8" tall

I'm losing the battle to wait until next year :drum:

Don't get your hopes up on the zone reading.....basjoo still needs alot of protection in your area and orinocos are less hardy than basjoos. They should hold up in a GH that stays above freezing.
