Hi RIch, My 2nd year tree defoliated in the freeze last night. The sole fruit I left on the tree to ripen this season is still hard and erect, but 75% purple. I hope it ripens sooner next year. __________________ In containers - Littleton, CO (zone 5b) In ground - N.E of Austin, TX (zone 8b) 2016 Wish List: Dārk Pōrtuguese, Grānthāms Royāl, Lātarolla, Negrettā, Nōire de Bārbentāne, Rockāway Green, Viōlet Sepōr, Viōlette Dāuphine.
