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.

I just got mine last June 2007 while I was working in CA. The I came back to Seattle in a couple of weeks, only to head out to Vegas for another work assignment in July. I took the plant with me there, and came back to Seattle again in September. From the time I got it until a couple of months ago, it had two leaves. Even through the winter. Now it's got 6 leaves. I have yet to transfer the plant to a bigger pot. Right now, it's in a 5-gallon pot. I will be doing so in the next week or so. I don't know if I want to plant it in a 30 or 50 gallon pot. I'm concerned about the weight of a 50 gallon pot for when I need to bring it indoors (unheated greenhouse) in the winter. It'll probably be next year before it can be big enough to fruit.
If I get pups, the first one will be planted in the ground, and will have some winter protection.
In the next couple of weeks, I'm thinking of planting a couple of Dwarf Orinocos in the ground. They will be heavily protected for the winter.
