Thanks Bill, besides a minor mite attack its going quite well!
No, it didnt go through the winter. But, as soon as I manage to get this one to pup, or jsut get another ill try it. Seeing as my hibiscus made it unprotected (woot!), I think with some super deep multch, and luck I can manage to get one of them to make it one way or the other 😈
I think the olive is gonna end up being my favorite, even above the bamboo. I cant wait to se the growth! they can grow 6 - 10 feet a year!!!! 12 in a few cases 😯
I thank Cameron for them, he sent the seed. And I must say, im suprised at the germination ratio of them ( concidering my record of other things). Id say 90 or 95 % !!

Jesse, thanks for making us looking your plants! Good stuff! I like your agave seedlings very much! The russian olive is native to Kazakhstan. It's not invasive here but grows as a HUGE tree up to 2 meters in diameter! Would be good seeing your Fargesias. Are they OK there, in your garden?

Thanks Igor.... The type I have is native to the caspian sea area ( the leaf colour is different then the "regular" Russian olive.) My geography is a bit, off in your area, are you close to there? I hope it gets big here. They usualy dont live more then 15 years, mabey 20 ( thats here, but they are reletivly short lived trees). My boss had one with a foot diameter trunk, not bad! It started to die back, and she didnt know it usualy comes back after that.
