I dug up the big one on Friday, trying to keep as much soil as possible on the root, then planted it in the biggest container I have with Miracle Gro potting soil.

Then I watered it really well, and put it in a greenhouse with a dedicated heater that keeps the temperature 70 degrees.

I went out on Saturday, and the leaves are all black / dark brown :-( The stem was still green, but the leaves did NOT appreciate the transfer. At all!

But what's done is done. I suspect that it'll die back to the root within the next few weeks, and I'll have to start over again next year. But with it in a permanent pot now, maybe it won't have the same reaction next Winter.

I guess I'm crossing my fingers in the hopes of getting fruit in 2026! This better be some dang amazing fruit, that's all I know... LOL
