Now the dwarf red Im pretty certain i can fruit.. they overwintered well and I have 2 that are near fruiting size in one season.

Roger that on the namwahs if last winter was any indication. All I did was pile up hay about 2' high around the base and no wrapping, christmas lights, etc. My back yard does get some serious solar reflection off of my house/windows so I don't think winter back there is much different from you. Maybe a bit worse but I think close. Everything came right back and Lou's pstem stayed viable all the way to the top. Even the pups. 1 pup has grown 10' since March, another about 8'. I have a dwarf starting to grow pretty good now too along with a tall and dwarf Orinoco. Next year should bring more fruit so my goals are actually being exceeded. I appreciate all I have learned from you guys.
