2:50 to 4 minutes for the Hardy Chicago. I have a first year HC growing indoors at the moment myself, from forum member ediblelandscapingsc. (Thanks Dan). It's a real healthy looking, hardy little tree. We're looking forward to seeing it develop.

i already have HC EL rooting right now.. so it would be interesting to see the difference. i understand HC EL is not like other HC at all.

I have 3 Hardy Chicago plants. 2 might be available this summer for trades. I stuck rooted cuttings (except for one) I got from Marius on Ebay all into one big container. Some didn't make it, but the others did. I'm looking forward to tasting this excellent variety! Suzi
