I think TG is nothing more than a D. Orinoco.. I find them lacking when it comes to withstanding cold, but recover well in the spring. Personally I think Orinoco is tough as nails where as cold is concerned.. You leave it whole till spring then trim the leaves after last frost.. This year the one in the yard is trimmed down to just over 6' of p-stem so fruit should be no problem this year for that one. :^)
