Hi Cameron,
thanks for the update. It's great to see all those plants growing. It appears your Poncirus and the Yuzu are growing. I some Yuzu leaves in there too!
Too bad they are so slow to start growing.
How's your Aucuba and Euc seedlings??

I noticed today that the Aloes which I grew from your seed (from 2 years ago) got damaged leaves the other morning when we dropped to 27F. I'm not sure why......aren't these zone 7/8 plants??

Tim, the Aucubas are in another thread Here is a shot of the Eucs:
That is very odd about the Aloes (A. ecklonis) being damaged from such warm temps. I guess the zone 7a hardiness rating was given for adult plants in perfect conditions, or maybe for root hardiness since A. ecklonis is a grass Aloe.
It does look as if one part of the Yuzu has survived, so I think I have two species on one rootstock The Passiflora sp. that is planted there is incredibly tough. It survived -6 C which defoliated the kiwis and figs. It also survived being mulched and outdoors for all of last winter. I think I will mulch it and keep it in the same spot over the winter.
Kiwis/Poncirus/Yuzu/Passiflora at the end of the season:
Same plants after -6 C:

Hi Cameron,
try to protect the Yuzu........perhaps it will gain a little hardiness when the roots get deeper into the soil. I would think if you cover with leaves it may do the trick.

Tim, I will definitely make an effort to protect the Yuzu well for the winter!
