Hiniba is a green 'Montbeliardii' so will treat in exactly the same way as them and maurelii

I think the main difference between 'Montbeliardii'/Hiniba and ventricosum/Maurelii is the height when young. This means keeping growing over winter, is not as viable an option for 'Montbeliardii'/Hiniba unless you have very high ceilings

At least 6 foot, fingers crossed.
