Re: M. itinerans var. xishuangbannaensis after a few hard frosts
I heavily protected the Orinoccos the first winter and they survived...then the next winter I didn't protect and they still survived. This year I decided to bring them in to try and get fruit. If they don't fruit then they are just like haveing basjoo that struggle with cold and not worth haveing around. I'll probably phase them out in favor of Viente Cohol if it proves to fruit more reliably. I really don't want to get in the habit of bringing stuff inside every winter. Hopefully it will just be Siam Ruby and Viente Cohol in the future (until comething else cool comes along ie. Ae Ae).
