This tree does not have any grafts on it.
All updates:
(January 17, 2025) Pre-freeze update -- The cracked stem from last winter freeze damage has mostly healed, but it has definitely stunted this one.
(September 18, 2024) Update -- Has regrown a bit since spring, but not very well. I suspect the roots took some damage in the transplant.
(March 6, 2024) Update -- A few hours later, I can say I definitely posted the last update prematurely. The tender leaves are toast, but it seems ok otherwise.
(March 6, 2024) Freeze update -- Looks pretty unfazed by last night's 28°F low. Slight curling of the largest unhardened leaves, but the smaller ones and the hardened leaves all look untouched. It's possible damage will show more after sun exposure in the coming days, though.

(March 3, 2024) Planted out -- Forgot to post the update when this was planted out yesterday
(January 29, 2024) Update -- New flush is continuing to expand.
(January 1, 2024) Update -- Looks like a first flush is finally starting on this one now. It's been in the greenhouse for most of the fall and winter, other than a few days outside to get rain.
