I grow orinoco, rajapuri, goldfiner and gauy namwah. The only one that has even come close to being able to be left out is orinoco. I have some out right now that still have green puedostems but we are going to get really cold this weekend so we will see how they do. The rajapuri, goldfiner and namwah didn't even keep the stem under my house. Neither did the saba before I lost it completely. I am in New Bern too, about 30 minutes from the coast.

I fruited orinoco this summer but had to cut the fruit really early. They are just now becoming ripe. The taste is not bad, but they are suffering from spongy core. They never really plumped like they should have on the plant.
