Great topic!! I will be trying to grow artocarpus in a very restricted space, I'd be very interested to how your plants have been doing since this post!

Здравствуйте Сергей,

Главное проблема в России не лето а зима. Мороз будет убивать ваши питаи. Сколько градусов у вас зимой?

Успеха вам.

Хосе.

Hi, yes, of course, in winter it is very cold here. I'm going to move the dragon fruit for the winter in a warm room, where the temperature is +22 C

It'll be fine at 22c! The only time my dragon fruits died were when I let them get hit by frost, otherwise they're fine outside   under a pergola or frost cloth.   We got -7.6c last year and it didn't die from the cold, however, direct light frost in spring killed it. I have had many over the years, the biggest mistake I've made was thinking that they were hardened somewhat after living through winters and putting  them out in the spring only to be turned to mush by the lightest of frosts
