Looking good; I was not actually worried about them.
Same fertilizer treatment, the locally-sourced fish feces?

Very nice.

I know right, they are amazing plants...Although i have to say my huge fig trees took a hit. They died back to the ground, never ever covered or overwintered them in 13 years, that was crazy

Those reminders of where we live (iffy zones) simply aren't fair. 😕
Maybe they'll bounce back as well as the Musas.
