Default Re: Looking for Brazilian, Dwarf or regular

So yes, I have Dwarf Brazilian pups but before you get them from someone consider the following: Because your temperate season is shorter, the plant will spend 1/4 year in dormancy, another 1/4 year recovering from dormancy so that the expected number of years to produce fruit is 4.

Further, if it blossoms in the fall, you will have no fruit. Thus, if you want a crop you'll need to grow 4 plants to get a good probability of success. I would go with Dwarf Orinoco, Ice Cream, Dwarf Brazilian, and Goldfinger. What ever growth method you choose, treat them all the same so that you have less variables.
