Aravaipa a possible pollen parent. Planted out in spring 2022. It survived multiple hard freezes but had grown very slowly and with very low vigor, so it was dug back up and potted in October 2025.
This tree does not have any grafts on it.

(October 6, 2025) Dug up -- This one was removed from the ground yesterday. It seems that the Umbellularia tree has been outcompeting this tree for root space (it was totally choked by dense roots).
(October 4, 2025) Update -- It's still alive lol

(January 17, 2025) Pre-freeze update -- Still clings to life somehow.
(September 23, 2024) Update -- Much like last year, very feeble growth this summer.
(May 16, 2024) Update -- Growing nicely this spring.
(April 20, 2024) Update -- Spring flush starting.
(March 4, 2024) Update -- Only protection during the January freeze was having the wood chips piled up over it, but the seems to have done the trick
(October 26, 2023) Report -- One of the weakest trees this year out of those that survived last winter. Leaves have looked chlorotic at times.
