Sonya,
PCN's like dry, mild summers and wet winters. My summers here in
Central California are hot, but I grow varieties that have been
acclimated to these hot conditions. Mine are grown in partial shade.
Since yours are in pots I would try at least some of them in the ground.
PCN's are notorious for not transplanting well barerooted.
Traditionally growers here have been transplanting in early winter,
(December), however some growers are now transplanting in early spring
March/April.
Hope this helps.
