    I’m also pretty far north. I just rotate it in the pot. It stays in a sunny window in the winter, and tied to a railing on the deck during the rest of the year. It tends to suffer a bit in winter. A few leaves fall off and whatnot. But it blooms every year and fills its trellis nicely. I need to aggressively prune it once a year.

      Interesting, thanks for the information. I might have to try that. We have a very small number of plants that go in and out every year. My wife is paranoid about bringing bugs in, but our jade gets great colors when it has a good amount of direct sunlight.

        I have an olive tree and that jasmine that I bring in and out. In the fall I let them both stay out over night for a couple hard freezes and they are fine with it. I think that probably kills the bugs. But they’ve never been an issue.

        I’m sure there is… but I wing it. I just take off whatever is making the plant too bushy. Sometimes I’ve taken off whole vines.
