I can't fairly comment on this, but to anyone living in the far south, they can commiserate that planting in December is beneficial, because it gives the plants time in the cooler weather to acclimate, establish roots, and not be stressed when the dry season comes around.
I planted my row of Orinoco's the week before Christmas, and they were the best producers the following summer. They created a nice mat the following fall with many suckers. Of course, this is before I removed all but one of the mats and replaced them with more interesting cv's.
