Planted out by patio in summer 2022. Recent growth badly damaged by 25°F, but older leaves and stems undamaged. Killed to just above the bottom leaves by 17°F in December 2022, but buds starting to swell in mid-April 2023.
Update | 2024-10-13 17:03:40 | Still flushing new growth... | |
Update | 2024-09-04 07:04:44 | Seems very happy this year. | |
Update | 2024-04-20 17:59:53 | Lots of new buds forming on the old stump. | |
Update | 2024-03-04 22:29:56 | Slight signs of life at the soil line. Maybe a bud starting to swell. | |
Freeze update | 2024-01-19 19:32:03 | Some lower leaves might have made it, along with the lower stems, but could still be aborted by the tree later. Looks alive, at least. |
This tree does not have any grafts on it.
