(February 8, 2024) Update -- Was protected with fleece and a 100w heat bulb during the freeze and might have been too warm because it's started budding out already. No sign of flowers yet though.
(January 7, 2024) Update -- Built a wire frame fence around it to make it easier to protect in the event of a bad freeze.
