*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***


Purchased Summer 2016 from Rose Petals Nursery.

5/14/2018- planted today
5/23/2019- vigorous plant. Size is about 3h x 3w. Not especially bushy, but it's still very young.
2/19/2021- Looks terrible after our arctic blast. Too soon to say whether it will make it or not.
1/10/2023- Another freeze to 15 degrees has my plant looking weak. Two canes left 3h.
1/14/2023- Has struggled to come back but still lives.
3/12/2024- Another deep freeze this past January has given my plant grief again. I don't know if it will be ok.
