Jim, think tropical. Although podos are hardy here, it seems when you
disturb the roots, they become very temperature sensitive, hot and cold.
Can you get temporary heat in your cold frame for the panhandle cold snaps?
Also, remember that the only other option for these guys seems to be the
dump. Go for it and let me know how it comes out. Have fun - jay

I don't have any choice as to when I dig this -- it's the last
week in December or never. :-/ I think I'll rig up a large cold
frame for it when it gets up to chilly N. Fla.

My other podo digs were in summer and were spur-of-the-moment
things and I didn't have the right equipment, soil, or pots, so
it's probably no surprise that they lingered a while then
expired.
