JoeReal, did you give the plants any kind of winterizing before the frosts/freezing temps? Any idea what would happen if you left the fruit on and tried to protect it? I don't know what you'd use, Plastic bag with peat or straw wrapped around the fruit, maybe? Just curious.

I've heard 55-95 for growth also, but all of mine were growing slow (but growing) at 50. At 105-110 were growing great. The Manzano was at more than one leaf/week during the hottest times. We did have one of the wettest summers on record and may be breaking the record for wettest year recorded.

I had them on a drip system that watered (during peak growing temps) 36min early a.m. and 6min 5 other times throughout the day at 4gph/plant. Except for earthworm castings right around the corms, they were in sandy soil.
Do you think the amount of water kept them growing in high temps or could it have been something else?
BTW great job on growing. Absolutely beautiful avatar!
