As I said ours is in a big pot of ericaeceous compost. It spent the winter in the greenhouse but whether this was absolutely necessary I don't know.<br /><br />I'd keep it in the garden where it can get a bit of shelter and if necessary you can give the flowers a bit of protection if it flowers before the last frosts. You can drape a piece of fleece over it at night. The kiwis we have on the plot suffer badly from frost damage.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-34412127429733384942012-03-17T09:52:41.758+00:002012-03-17T09:52:41.758+00:00Good luck with them all!Good luck with them all!Damohttp://twochancesvegplot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-72977741907493680192012-03-17T09:30:03.553+00:002012-03-17T09:30:03.553+00:00Isn't it great to se buds coming on the fruit ...Isn't it great to se buds coming on the fruit trees!!<br /><br />I am going to purchase an Issai this year for myself too.
