No problem in cool mountain. My vines have been growing and producing for six years. Each year I cut them back to the ground around September after fruit finish then dump a couple of buckets of wood ash on the stumps and water every couple of weeks. Never used any fertiliser. They are now flourishing again and we will harvest from early to mid next year.

Hi, In the cooler climates (southern highlands NSW) would I need to cover my vines in winter to protect them from frosts? Also, do you need to have more than one plant to pollinate chokos? My plant is about 12" high now and attaching itself to wire. Thanks
