Flower bud?2024-03-21 04:45:42Looks like a flower bud on at least one branch!
Update2024-02-08 07:44:16Was protected with fleece and a 100w heat bulb during the freeze and might have been too warm because it's started budding out already. No sign of flowers yet though.
Update2024-01-07 00:23:33Built a wire frame fence around it to make it easier to protect in the event of a bad freeze.
