This winter wasn't as cold as last year, I thought.
Hope it makes it, Aaron.
Thanks!
I think the winter here was much colder, but your weather up there seemed mild to me? 😐

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Your winter was worse than last year's?
or just longer / earlier cold?
Yeah...we were mild-ish...for Canada anyway.

Yes...this winter was much worse than last winter. Over all it was bad, we had night after night of temps at or below 0f/-18c and day after day of temps below the teens f. And we have been below our avg ever sense. 😡
But most of my plants made it, so not so bad. 😆

Hi Aaron,
any sign of life?
It's alive and growing! But than again sometimes yuccas will grow right before they die.
As of now it is alive and the branches are showing green in the stems and more every day. If the weather would hold on it will be sprouting leaves soon. 😀

WOW.....that Ocotillo is a winner. I hope it keeps growing for you and next winter it will be even hardier? 😯

I hope so. I can tell you this, I will wrap it up better next winter. 😆 Last winter I left a big gaping hole next to the plant in the plastic. 😯
The plant is still getting wider and turning green. 😀

Hey is anyone growing ocotillo in a zone 7 or colder. 😀
I was just getting ready to ask this same question; then figured I would search first. 😀

It died, just too cold here, but have I seen two big ones Boise ID, but I think the cold last year got them. 😐
