Update | 2024-09-07 19:01:16 | This tree has grown very nicely this year. The frost damage near the graft union appears to be healing, albeit slowly. | |
Update | 2024-06-29 03:52:04 | Some kind of sap sucker has been going after the Jade graft, I think, based on the damage, but it seems to be outgrowing it recently. Rootstock branch looks good, too. | |
Update | 2024-04-20 18:09:01 | Plenty of new buds swelling both above and below the graft. | |
Update | 2024-01-30 19:30:02 | The only protection this tree got was to have wood chip mulch mounded up above the graft. I pulled those back this week and was happy to see that it looks very much alive above the graft, where it was covered with mulch. | |
Likely killed | 2024-01-13 22:40:24 | It's far too early to be sure, but this looks pretty much dead above the soil line. And there are more very cold temperatures to come. |
