The next Washy filifera, with the same amount of Christmas lights and insulation, just about croaked.
And may still do that ?

The 3 Y.rostrata seem to be fine after their iffy winter protection.

Super! All looking better than mine after spending the winter indoors. You definitely made the right decision to put them all in the ground.

Great plants Barb. Love all the filaments on Washy #1. Those Y. rostratas will take off this season. Big Boy is a beauty.......keep the update photos coming.

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.

Barb the Washy`s look great. Glad they made it. I think the one Washy is a W.filibusta if I remember correctly from three years ago. That would explain why it`s not doing as well as the pure filifera. Big boy is going to need a taller roof soon. 😆

Thanks folks.
ah, a filibusta.
That must be the reason, as it had exactly the same protection as the filifera...same amount of Christmas lights, etc.
Think it'll make it?
Re big boy...saw H looking up at the roof peak above the Trachy the other day.
I didn't say a word. 😆 😆 😆

Hi Barb,
I think that filabusta will pull through for you. 😉

Hi Barb,
How much more protection needs a washy compared with a trachy?. Ever since I've seen the pictures from the guy from Chicago
( http://home.ptd.net/~mishele/webpage/protection2.htm) I want to put a washy in the garden.
