Default Dwarf Orinoco for Zone 6?

Seems this one is edible - when fully ripe
Grows to 5-6' high, maybe up to 8' ?
So it could grow in my greenhouse
EBay has Wellspring Gardens that has them for $6 + shipping
5-8" tall

I'm losing the battle to wait until next year

Don't get your hopes up on the zone reading.....basjoo still needs alot of protection in your area and orinocos are less hardy than basjoos. They should hold up in a GH that stays above freezing.
