Andrew, I've seen both of these in the wild, thanks to the great
hospitality of some kiwis (Andy F on this list, Peter Northcote, and
Andrew Hodge). These two species of plants live in extremely cold
habitats! I wouldn't be surprised if they grow for about 3 months of the
year, max. The rest of the time they would like it cold.

Even plants that want 6 months in the chiller (some clones of D.
rotundifolia) are ok with 9 months. They slowly break out of hibernation
in the fridge, straining for light. When I finally let them out of the
chiller they bound into growth at amazing speeds.

Barry
