If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Very impressive, Barb!
Those will be giants in a few years. I'm glad you put them in the ground--and protected them.
You saw what happened to unprotected W. robusta down here in a super mild winter.
And actually, I lost on of my two potted W. filifera indoors last month. Rotted. Not sure how, but the point is, you should be extra pleased with how well yours are doing 😀

Thanks Erik.

Yeah, I was surprised to see the Washy filifera a goner on the farm.
With their love of heat, and the good soil there, very surprising...but too little rain.

Strange that your potted one died; Erik.
Could it have dried out too much in the pot?
I'm sure you'll give extra attention to the twin.

Next year I'll back off a bit withall that batt insulation, and underlay foam, and plastic, and etc etc.
And then we'll get -40 😆 😆
