rooting..
It seems to root best for me on a peice of the old wood, or old growth...I have tried rooting a new peice and havent had any luck....so try and cut off a peice of the older area of the vine, and I just put it in water, and have roots in a week or so...
Good luck with it !

Link for you...

Not sure, hope the link helps but there's not much flesh insidethe fruit anyway...
I think you should...
Connie,
I have it in white also...will post a pic soon....It needs to be cut pretty good when you bring it in, so it will flower MORE....if you dont cut it back pretty aggressively...it wont bloom as well....But I still keep it at a good size...
I am trying to get more varieties of them...I rooted the white for tatyana, if you would Like I can try again ??
