Andy - this is the second season for the flowering pstem - It was almost 5 ft when winterized the mat last year with awire cage and leaves, and wrapped in plastic. Winter was so mild that was a waste of time and I unwrapped, and got caught by a late frost that fried the new leaves and delayed growth.
looks like it takes most of two seasons to produce zone 9a - flowering pstem is about 8-9 ft - i have another tall pstem in the mat that will probably get caught by winter.
Thanks to bananamal and abnsherk I've bumped up my feeding plan and it seems to be working - maybe i'll get fruit earlier next season.
