Spring seems to be more of a problem than winter.
Poms don't stay dormant long in most situations.
So you will need a plan for when they come out of dormancy and you get a frost while they are breaking bud and leafing out.
You could cover them or you could just wait and see if they survive and see ...

Where are you located?

I am in central New Mexico, south of Albuquerque a bit.
Short winters but unpredictable weather patterns.
In November everything got snowed on heavily before they were dormant, that was alarming.

I know a community food forest near here had an Angel Red that died, but I'm ...

This may be worth trying due to it cutting mold and rot out of the equation, but haven't tried it:



There is also a shorter video without all the dumb jokes that shows up in a google search that he posted on faceborg.

I have a dormant Grenada that I may plant soon, along with Sirenevyi, Azadi, Sverkhranniy, Utah Sweet,

They said for this reason, to create a scent of a ...

Highly susceptible to fruit rot in an exeriment that took place in humid Southeast,
ripens late.

But notes have been made that it is resistant to sun burn,
complex flavor,

This sounds like a good opportunity to try one in the house and try planting one outside in the ground now to see what happens.
If the one outside doesn't make it would be sad, but you still have the other one.

Here is what I got.
I planted it in early May and really wasn't expecting it to fruit.
I watched a hummingbird pollinate the two that fruited.
Didn't develop much color on the outside and I left it on until they started splitting.
But it surprisingly tasted very good. Sweet with a little tart and ...
