Hi guys,
Finally, I found you guys. I posted something in the gardenweb forum but didn't get many responses.
I live in Auburn and didn't have a good luck with dwarf orinoco last year. Perhaps it was too small to leave them out even though the soil is well drained. So this year I am trying again with both normal and dwarf varieties. My normal one is growing slower than the dwarf. But I plan on potting them up during winter.

I have had very good luck with Basjoo, I only cut them down to 1 foot and covered them with straw for the first two years. Now I don't cut them any more and they keep coming back for 3 years now. A few even bloomed.

I just got California gold this year. Chong, does your ever produce fruits? Do you leave them out or have any protection or pot them up?

Thanks.
Winaor
