A list of species whose cultivation in New Jersey I would like to explore, possibly including trials. Entries include notes of cultivation, uses, and risks.
-
Initial plant grew well indoors but failed to overwinter. Making a second attempt to test in optimal microclimate.
-
Seeds started successfully, but plants failed to overwinter (2020-2021) in an unheated greenhouse.
-
Plants growing in both pine barrens display and woodland bed have grown and flowered.
-
Plants successfully overwintered (2020-2021) in an unheated greenhouse, but two trial seedlings left outside appeared to die. Will try again with more established plants.
-
Plants grew well during the growing season, but were killed back by the first frost and failed to overwinter (2020-2021) in an unheated greenhouse. No fruit produced before frost.
-
Seed-started plant produced one fruit, which appeared to fully ripen the day before first frost. Plant was damaged by frost and failed to overwinter (2020-2021). Perhaps a longer growth period indo... More
