I have read a lot of info regarding the Texas Star that is only sold by TyT's?
Has anyone got one of the Texas Star plants and are they as cold hardy as they say?

Several sites claim that Texas Star is just another Dwarf Orinoco. Any truth to that?
Since it was supposedly found in Wichita Falls, Texas, and I live Texas myself, Dallas area, it sounds like it should be able to take the climate in Dallas far better than any other fruiting variety.
I could only find it at Ty Ty's and that made me suspicious so hence my question to the real experts in this forum if it does exist and if it is as good as some claim.

Appreciate any info to educate me about this variety!
