Good afternoon Proletariatcsp,
I once though more highly of the taller cultivars, but after growing them and seeing the freeze damage high up, I now prefer the shorter cultivars. They seem to be less damaged when uncovered in a freeze and are much easier to protect from freezing.
But everyone must work through the thought and applications process.
I have purchased dwarf reds, but I do have Red Iholenas, and Sabas, and a whole bunch of other cultivars that stay outside in the ground year 'round.
I hope this helps.
