It not only made it, it looks superb!
Congrats on well constructed protection.
I think you're the first to show beginnings of inflorescence.
Will be fun to watch that develop...
Bet you'll get...oh....five or six of them?

First winter in ground. I wanted to protect it a lot!
Will update pics when they start to open to ask if it is male or female!?

Great job with the protection, can't tell it has even been through winter.

I planted mine from home in a warmer spot down the shore, and it still looks good too. Probably would have been destroyed up at home.

Didn't have your camera with you?
Would love to see the new place and your plantings.

Cool, can't wait to see it Mike!
Love that you call it a retreat.
Lots of updates...even Wunderground updated...and eliminated my town somehow
So "virtually" I've moved to Kelowna. For the weather anyway.

Yup, I used to have the international C/F weather sticker.
That's gone too.
Besides me moving
All that for the red/yellow WU
