Sticks -Tampa area is much warmer than north coastal area - does it ever freeze? orinocos are very cold hardy - I have no experience with PH. Last winter was mild, I cut my orinocos to 8-10 ft and wrapped with frost cloth/insulate and plastic bags. Had 5 blooms in the mat this season.
I plan on doing the same this year.
