Lagniappe

I have a bunch of Orinoco ripening and another hanging that won't have time to ripen, Neither mat was protected . I harvested a bunch from my Dwarf Orinoco's last year.
Like Benny said though....individual microclimates may have an important role in regards to cold tolerance. I have a lot of large trees around here whose canopy may lend some protection from frost and a dark color house that may absorb and release heat, The same thing seems to be going on in Howards pic....dark brick and I see a lot of shade (trees??). Any plant that is close to a house will be more protected than those that are more exposed.
