Well I live in NW Ohio. It used to be a zone 5, but now is a zone 6B micro climate.

So growing in pot is my only option, outside every warm day possible I suppose in the summer. Figures dwarf varieties make the most sense, but I have read that a pot will dwarf any variety anyways. And who knows what affect this has on the fruit? Even with very good soil/compost/manure/michoriz/etc. I would expect fruit that taste better than the stuff in the grocery store though.

So varieties? I am leaning towards a dwarf Jamaican red firstly. For some reason the Hua Moa is really drawing my attention (it's a much taller variety though). A real Ice Cream of course, Nino, Mona Lisa, Popolou, Praying Hands.

Am I being too adventitious? That's my consideration list for now HAHA.
