All updates:
(November 23, 2024) Deer damage -- Here's a photo of last night's damage from deer.
(November 23, 2024) A photo update, after a few light frosts but before any hard frosts -- It's 46" high, notably bigger than #231 which is planted next to it. It did fine after three light frosts, but hasn't gone through any hard frosts yet. The deer left it alone during summer, but ate a section of leaves about a week ago and ate all remaining leaves last night. The photo is from 11/21/24, before the worse deer damage.
(December 8, 2023) Frost update -- Most tender leaves were completely crisped by 28°F (and removed), but older leaves and leaf buds mostly look fine frost-wise. Some chlorosis and even necrosis on oldest leaves, likely wet roots.
