If you can get just one season out of this, when would be the latest in the year that you should buy this? Will it produce all the way up into frost?

I live in Minnesota, and I have found that even though the plants may not freeze their production is reduced because of the shorter days/cooler nights. You really need the whole growing season in this climate to make the hanging pepper planter worthwhile. I have found the planter lasts at least two or three years.

I use them 3-4 yrs leave them out yr round I'm in breed wi works well wih all plants veggies flowers if you like need a lot of water water every day so you don't get dry spots in soil

i would say late may or early june at the latest. i live in zone 5, so you have to plan on what you will plant in it.

These are reusable. It probably won't produce in the frost -- not many plants do. You'll be ready to use this once your plant is close to flowering.

The Topsy Turvey holds the plant. It's a great way to grow. When is the first frost for you? Also, I hear you can reuse these although we haven't tried it. Will the plant last until the frost? If it will then the TT will.

Ours dry rotted and got pretty badly faded after the first year. I would only expect to get only one season out of it.

I planted it in Spring and it showed a good growth. Then came the Arctic vortex last winter. I thought it was dead and pulled it out and throw in the container of a different tree I planted in its spot. I recognized new growth late summer and plant it to a new spot. I covered new growrh with straw this time. It seems OK after 2 early strong frosts in Tennessee. I cross my fingers. This is a tough little thing I really do not know how to answer. If you do not have strong frosts in your region, it may be good for root growth without stressing the tree.

It snows a bit here where I live and we leave ours up all year. Just make sure that you winterize yours with the proper chemicals, before covering for the winter. It makes life a lot easier come spring time.

Spring would be best if you live more in the north. I planted mine during summer. It is growing nicely, but no flowers yet. I will mulch and have it in a more sheltered area so it survives winter. Hopefully it will really take off next spring.

So far it seems to be! I have only had it since last summer. It lived on the deck in it's original pot until around October. From what I have read it can be outside in temps as low as 15F at night so watch the weather. For the winter I moved it into an unheated garage. It looked like a little twig all winter but perked right up when I put it outside in the spring! No fruit so far but we'll see.

I only bought it this spring so I don't know about the winter. Certainly am very happy with it so far.

The plant is pretty small when it arrives. I have mine in a 1 gallon pot right now. I doubt I will need to transfer it to anything larger this year.

I planted mine in New York City last fall and it's starting to spout new leaves now. I don't know if it will prosper or not since that's yet to tell. This winter had been quite cold with the artic air but it didn't kill my fuyu, nor with that dump of snow. My fuyu was covered in a foot or two of snow, no thanks to my in law who buried it.

I'd hold off for the season and put down a good winterizer in the fall, followed by a strong pre-emergent fertilizer/weed controller in the early spring. Like I said, I had zero success with this product.

I would plant first of spring- after no more chance of frost, can start them growing inside your home as pre prepping,, they are going to be beautiful and smell wonderful!!

I would say that depends on your local weather. If it may freeze, I'd recommend a pot so you can pull it inside over the coldest months.

After the last frost has long past. I'll order mine in April or May. Depending also where you live.

It should last you several seasons. I use it along with homemade compost and Black Kow compost.

I only expected it to last just one season. I put it in several large pots last spring and it worked great. This spring I used the same pots, worked in some new potting soil and was surprised to find that it still worked like a champ. Not sure if I'll have the same result next spring as I continue to work in new soil. One tip though . . . don't put in too much. It will overflow once it expands. Hope this helps.

I would wait until there are no more snow storms. I live in Texas and my plants have weathered the cold spells with below freezing temps, but our cold spells don't last long. Hope spring comes soon for you guys!!! I can imagine you are ready for it.
