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 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!
