Has very vividly red leaves, and grew vigorously in its first season. Oddly enough the older leaves seem more frost tender than the new ones.

All updates:
(November 23, 2024) Deer damage -- Here's a photo of the damage from deer that happened last night.
(November 23, 2024) A photo update, after light frost but before any hard frosts -- It's 34" high, and was still doing well after about 3 light frosts. The deer ate some of its leaves on two occasions recently, and this morning had basically denuded it, but left it alone during summer when they had more forage to choose from. The graft is still alive and has one cluster of small leaves, but is not growing as much as the rest of the tree. Photo is from 11/21/24, before the deer ate the rest of its leaves.
(December 29, 2023) Graft -- Just added a graft of Long South Gate.
(December 8, 2023) Update -- Oddly showed no damage to new leaves, but slight to moderate damage to older leaves at 30°F. Was taken in greenhouse for two 28°F nights so far
