Default Re: California Gold: A true cultivar? (Att. JoeReal)

When looking at the p-stem my california gold it is very green and healthy but of course it is well protected by my own method. I don't dare yet to open the protection since I bought it. It is wrapped in burlap many times then Christmas lights, then wrapped again with clear 4 mil plastic and on top is tied a clear large trash can liner, halfway down the ppstem it is wrapped with floor heat mat and around the corm 4 bags of 2 cu ft of red wood bags to retain the heat.
The sorroundings are pretty much protected also with clear plastics which my citrus reside as well. And although the tempt at night is on the low 20's I don't see any damage by the icy blast which is going on right now. So far.
