Hi All --
Do others do the same as Rob when overwintering rocotos? I put one in my
basement last year at the end of the season. I didn't trim it back and it's
doing great this year....well, sort of. It started off with tons of flowers
and set a few early fruits, but now it's just dropping its flowers -- I think
it's too hot here in Atlanta. At any rate, it's growing just fine and is now
over six feet tall, so I think I should trim it back at the end of the season
before bringing it in, but I'm not sure.
