Outside unprotected for all but one week of the 2023/2024 winter, in a 15 gal pot, with very little damage. Was brought into the greenhouse for Jan 2024 freeze, and planted out a couple months later.
Update | 2024-07-27 22:41:24 | Did a little more pruning today. The Brissago graft really is taking off, and the three different flush colors really look nice together. | |
Update | 2024-06-27 06:11:34 | Since the Brissago graft (upper right) looks to have taken, I topped the main trunk just above the Brissago branch to help encourage better growth on the graft. The Del Rio graft is about halfway finished flowering. | |
Planted out | 2024-03-03 00:31:21 | Was just planted outside. | |
Update | 2023-12-11 06:04:08 | Has been outside against the west side of my house with only a hint of frost damage so far from the two nights around 28°F. The Del Rio graft shows no damage, but is on the side of the pot closest to the foundation wall of the house. |
