My first one died all the way to the corn with the worst winter we had here since the 70's a few years ago. But I left it in a pot on my balcony when we lived in a apartment unprotected. The guy I got it from said he has had them for years and never protected them. A local guy here on the board I'm friends with would dig up some of the p-stems to try to get fruit not sure if he ever did. But I'm pretty sure he never really protected them otherwise. We live near a huge river that goes into the ocean and the ocean is on the other side of us a mile away. So that keeps are winter temps higher and constant. 25* is the average lowest temp we get. But its always windy here also. All I plan to do is store the pups and just wrap the p-stem this winter. It stays warm in December and we have been out cutting the grass several times. So usually by November things are ready. Oct-Dec day temps are 60*-70* and gets cold at night 50*-40*. The ice cream I have had for two years now is from Richard. Original one rotted away from poor drainage in the pot. So will see how this one does in the ground.
