Things are moving along in my Z5 after the snow storm 2 weeks or so ago .

Tony,
How big is the pot Tam Kam is in?

Maybe 15 gallons pot and the Tam Kam is around 5 1\2 feet tall

Do you add or change potting soil at all. I have just started to grow persimmons in pots last year so there is a lot to learn re. container culture.

No changing pot. I just added fresh grass clippings every 2 weeks when I mowed. The grass clippings degraded into the pots that is all.

She finally found a tomato she likes a lot, me too. I am going to try to grow them too. I got some seeds saved from last year plants, mail order seeds, they were pretty good also, don’t know the name.

Good news for those interested in growing the Che tree in Z5. I bark grafted these 2 Che trees with scions from @strudeldog 4 years or so ago onto the Osage Orange seedlings from hidden Springs nursery and potted them up and they fruited the second year with no male Che tree. I decided to trial them in ground last fall. The low temps were -12F for a few nights and no died back whatsoever and now budding out. Ok zone pushers, this is your chance to trial one. Good luck.
