I wouldn't worry about keeping it warm, just frost-free, assuming, of course, that you are planning to make it an outside plant once you get to...
Lolo1, have you tried Bob Duncan at Fruittreesandmore.com out of Sydney? I visited his orchard last week and was bowled over by not only his...
Barrie -Thanks for the great advice. As well, I've printed out the website you also sent. Hopefully I'm not too late to get the cuttings taking...
