Mine is looking just fine after 8" of snow last week, some of which is
still on the ground and below freezing every night since the snow. I
have 2 good sized ones. One is 4' plus planted next to a fence and
the other is about 2 feet and in a planter. The taller one was about
6" and scrawny when I set it out 5 years ago. The other was in a 3"
pot I bought at the farmers market a year later. They are pretty
hearty.
