Planted out in early summer 2022. Impressively little damage that winter from 17°F, re-grew vigorously in 2023.
 | Update | 2024-09-23 07:39:01 | Growth has slowed but not fully clear whether it's going to try to get one more flush in this year. |
 | Update | 2024-07-23 17:03:21 | Coming back nicely, though something has been nibbling the leaves. Earwigs? Pill bugs? |
 | Update | 2024-06-28 04:46:59 | A little slower to get going than some of the other trees this year, but seems healthy enough otherwise. I did give it some fish emulsion this week because of the pale color. |
 | Update | 2024-04-20 18:20:31 | It was definitely killed back to a point lower on the trunk than the previous winter, but there are a few buds starting to swell. |
 | Update | 2024-03-04 18:40:11 | It's still hard to be certain, but it looks like the main stem was killed below the branched area where it re-grew last year. However, the main branches do also look alive above that point. Time will tell where it regrows from this year. |
