CDD-Gris in ground?

[Figgy_NC]

I currently have a second year CDDG tree in a pot. I am wondering if it would do OK, in ground. I am in zone 8a, middle of NC. Do any members have CDD trees in the ground in a similar climate? Are they able to ripen fruit before frost? Curious about Bordissotenca as well. Thanks!

1) I don't have any CDDs in ground.
2) Gegantina or Grise?

Curious about this too. I’m in same location and will be planting outdoors eventually everyone I can.

I'd be interested in putting a CDD-Gris in the ground in 7b as well. I ended up with a few dupes.

Heck yeah you will! You get plenty-0-heat to generate the GDD's needed. You can grow any variety u lucky dawg!

Lookup GDD estimator then correlate variety as CDD's are all high heat requirement GDD leeches.

Virginia z7 & eastern nc z8 can night & day (specifics matter). I dont think a VA z7 will cut it. Im z7a wnc and cant ripen hardly anything inground.
