If I remember, the first few years the plant died back to the ground. After that, maybe part of the top died and part survived, with some new shoots from the ground.

I've never seen any evidence even of flowering. I'm not sure what kind of enclosure would make any difference. It might protect the plant from wind and sun but not from temperature. It was -1 degree the other night here! It would be the same temperature inside any enclosure unless I had supplemental heat.

Regards,

Jay

Interesting. How many years have passed until the plant was again killed
down to the ground, to later re-sprout? I think you should great an
enclosure for one so that it will fruit.

When I used grafted trees, the entire top, including the part above ground
but below the graft, was killed by cold. The only reason the plant survived
was that new shoots came up from the roots.

"why would you want to kill the original rootstock?'

The conversation was started by the suggestion that own rooted trees are
hardier against cold than grafted ones, for one thing. Also, if you want
to make use of suckers, this might assure that the suckers were trees of
the grafted variety.
