Yuzu coming back from stump
(1/1)
vnomonee:
This is a seedling that survived 2021 mild winter in zone 7a without any protection grew well and developed a thick trunk but died to the ground this year after 6f.
I was cutting dead / rotting trunk that was freeze damaged until only a small stump was left. It's now growing buds on the stump!
I have mature Yuzu in a container now so this plant is not worth protecting as it is a seedling, but thought I would report on this finding. If this was a mature Yuzu on its own roots I'd probably try to protect it.
vnomonee:
The plant sometime in September 2021
brian:
Very nice! I assume that being right next to a wall helps keep the heat a bit.
I have yuzu now but it will stay in my greenhouse in winter. It gets below 0F regularly in zone6
vnomonee:
the wall definitely releases heat, as you can see where the snow melts. the yuzu survived the winter when this photo was taken, I believe the low was 11f. I had to see for myself what it's capable of but was hoping to have gotten lucky with a hardier than usual seedling... alas it was not meant to be lol
my tai-tri and citrumelo also against that wall made it through just fine last two winters
