Hey Buckeye did you ever get yours?

I just got the call this morning. Looks like they have quite a few to send out if they are calling at least 6 people at once. My check will be in the mail tomorrow!

Good morning Stumpy4700,

I overwintered mine by having it planted in a raised bed. It was not covered when 2 months of low 30s to low 40s as daytime lows and daytimes highs of 50s. The area is supposed to be zone 10. This year however was unusually cold and was like zone 9 weather. During this 2 month period temperatures hit29F several times.

Its a relatively new variety, but its alledged to fruit very quickly. If you search the old posts though, some members have had a tough time overwintering it......But we all have hope that we are the ones who can change that!!!

I tried ordering from them, but there is a new regulation for Texas customers. We have to have a Phyto inspection and it runs like $50.

Dean,

We could put an order in together and split the fee.

Did you have to pay this inspection fee when you ordered from bananatree or is this only from Ca?

No, Bananatree is out of Mass, I think.

The one there talking about here is from Florida.
