Oh nooos! So do you guys get cold(ish) winters? My sister lived in Charleston for a while, but I mainly just heard about the swampy summers.
Have you ever gotten yours to fruit?

Yep. The pot is actually huge. It just looks teeny in comparison to the monster
I know I know, that is no excuse, as clearly it needs to be potted up! Which I will do this spring ^-^
