I live a bit north of you by Chicago in zone 5b. I don't think you will need to add any addition heat. I just put up a pop up min greenhouse over it,...
Mike, Mine is only a few feet tall but and still green as ever but the frost is coming very soon. I think my next week its leaves should brown out. Ho...
