>>1467052Ah that's good to hear. I'm in an oceanic climate overall (Cfb), but we're getting more and more summer droughts plus heat waves lately (many recent years classify as Csb/Csa). Coldest it got according to the nearest weather station over the last 30 years was -16.5C/+2.3F.
Of course this is in the free field while here we have a bit of a better microclimate/suburban heat effect, so it might locally fall into 8b
Yeah those spikes at the leaf base can be nasty.
In previous pots the massive roots kept pushing up the whole plant a lot as they grew
I know I won't be able to install a protection forever, but making her survive at least 5-10 years would be nice. Here a pic of the root ball before planting
