Thanks Chad. That might be worth a go then, especially if fleeced in the greenhouse as well, for extra protection.

I recall having zero success with the Vasconcellea recovering from a winter outside and from trying to repot them in the autumn once planted out.
The root system becomes massive directly below the stem but doesn't produce many widespread anchoring roots or feeder roots which in anycase are soft end very easily broken.
Repotting might be more successful in a heavier soil, mine was very coarse sandy soil so it just fell off the roots when attempting to lift the plant.
