My Sugarloaf are in 1 gallon pots and growing nicely now and I plan to bring them into the greenhouse over winter. They are growing pretty well right now and I'm thinking I should move the up to 5 gallon pots. But that has me wondering if I can just leave them in pots when I bring them out next spring. How big of a root system do they get? Have you ever dug one up, Mitchel?

A friend from Kona and another from Puerto Rico both say that Sugarloaf is the best. I have yet to try one but their comments motivated me to give it a try.

I'm guessing frost would kill them or cause serious damage. Is that right? Last year was a bit milder with our low down to only 30F or so, but we had at least 30 days of frost even with that. The year before we only had about 10 days of frost but had several days into the low 20s.
