Pre-freeze update | 2025-01-17 18:14:41 | Some wind damage but no other damage yet this winter. | |
Update | 2024-11-05 18:31:48 | Still growing, no sign of dormancy yet. | |
Update | 2024-09-23 07:14:28 | Still actively growing. | |
Update | 2024-09-04 07:01:44 | Reaching eye level, still growing vigorously. | |
Update | 2024-08-26 05:10:53 | Has grown continuously since spring and is already almost 5 ft tall again, this time with multiple trunks. | |
Update | 2024-07-17 20:43:41 | New growth has been vigorous. | |
Update | 2024-06-27 07:12:34 | Main trunk is mostly abandoned, other than one small branch forming just above ground level. Many new shoots from the roots. | |
Update | 2024-03-04 18:42:00 | Still clinging to its last leaf, and the main stems do look mostly alive, albeit with patchy dead zones. | |
Update | 2024-02-02 01:32:49 | Looking increasingly like most or all of the tree will die back. There are still a few green bits, but many sections of the trunk are starting to go brown. | |
Freeze update | 2024-01-17 03:48:15 | Not looking so great despite the protection of a polycarbonate cube and a string of lights. But still a lot better than most of the rest of the trees! | |
Readying frost protection | 2024-01-08 00:53:48 | In light of the potential for extreme cold in about a week, I made a polycarbonate box for this tree using the spare panels from the greenhouse construction. I was going to leave the tree unprotected, but the forecast shows a potential for low teens or even single digit (°F) temperatures, so I'm not taking any chances. | |
Update | 2023-12-10 17:55:19 | Still looking good, you can see a few slightly frost damaged leaves at the end of a few branches, but generally no damage to any hardened leaves yet. | |
Update | 2023-11-29 06:24:46 | No sign of even the slightest damage from multiple nights around 30°F and one night at 28°F. | |
photo update | 2023-11-18 21:45:12 | Seems happy, no signs of delayed damage from the earlier frosts | |
Frost report | 2023-10-28 14:35:45 | No sign of damage even on the not-yet-hardened leaves after 6 hours below freezing with low of -1.0°C (30°F). | |
Report | 2023-10-26 17:25:16 | Seems to have gone fully dormant ahead of anticipated first frost. |
