Hi all,
I'm a new member but I always lurk around the forum for useful advices as well as pictures of beautiful roots!
Today I created my account to seek advices on what is the better course of action between:
1. Buy 2-3 eyes roots and plant them during the Fall 2023.
2. Buy 3-5 eyes roots and plant them during the Spring 2024.
(The catalogue I'm viewing for Fall 2023 planting only offer 2-3 eyes roots for Joker/Lemon Chiffon during the fall, but in the spring 2024 catalogue, they have 3-5 eyes option).
Between the 2 options, which will be more beneficial in terms of helping the plant to mature faster?
I'm inclined on waiting for Spring 2024 to purchase the 3-5 eyes roots, as it will take the 2-3 eyes the whole 2024 season to double and catch up. While at the end of 2024, with the 3-5 eyes root, I will have 6-8 eyes.
Delivery for the spring 2024 is between Feb 5-april 14, since my zone is 2-3ish with snow on the ground way into May, I may even pot them up then burry the pots in the snow for and extra cold circle. So:
3. Can I do that or the root need to be nursed in the pot for a few weeks first prior going into the snow? I'm afraid they will start to sprout if I have the pot inside for too long.
