| As discussed in a thread I posted a while back asking why the buds on my golden spice were failing, I planted it too late in the year, and there wasnt enough roots to sustain it, damaging the tree. Roughly two weeks later, I decided to scrape some bark. As I got lower and lower, I realized it died down even below the snow line. Here is the pic. Lesson learned.... the tree was probably better off left in the pot for the first winter. |

| Bummer!! I had an apricot, in a container, stashed in an unheated garage. Lost it due to the cold. So keeping them in the pot doesn't guarantee anything. |

| Yeah.... I had many things that arent "Supposed" to survive here and they did fine. This is one of the hardiest pears and yet it dies back lol.... The first winter is always the hardest though right? |
