you're right about that. in an attempt to contain it, i trained it into a sorta of circle with carefully placed spikes and still it shoots up. so i preparation for winter, i cut back most of the leaves with the exception to those left on top. anything under the graft site was removed early on. my mistake may have been that oversize pot i placed it in. at least a 20 gallon. i tend to overshoot as a just in case. sounds like i may need to wait and hope some of those leaves will regrow in spring. other than that, i'd say it's quite established and maybe a blessing that it didn't fruit this year allowing for better development. so this forum is for plants and there's one for fruit. very cool. i'll check into that next. i believe the tomato/pepper trade is now closed and am waiting for seeds. is there a tropical seed trade other than the standard trade forum. or is it more of a plant trade. i see you're in z6 close to my z7. might i ask if you've overwintered your tropicals. are tropicals prone to the aphids/spidermites or whiteflies. thanks again ohiojay.

When I retired I gave real thought to every season and, although I live in a warmer zone, I thought you could look up the hardiness of plants that come to mind, some of which I have here. Witchhazels, Hamamelis hybrids, yellow and red twigged dogwoods,Cornus sericea and Cornus alba varieties, Holly, both Ilex opaca, red or yellow berried, and Ilex verticillata. Callicarpa. Crabapples and hawthorne, which I do not grow. Some roses with scarlet hips. Acer palmatum 'Sango Kaku'. White, yellow and deep red brown barked birches.The brilliantly barked Salix brixensis. Gaultheria procumbens. Cornus canadensis. Vaccinium angustifolia 'Ruby Carpet'. I suspect some of these are not for your zone, but one or two will not grow well for me in my warmer area.

I did white polished thassos with black honed nero marquina bugs (see below): Average quality thassos will run you about $10-12/foot...premium quality is around $18-20/foot. Ann Sacks & Akdo have premium quality black and white marble options. Another great source is blackandwhitetile.com. All of these places will send you samples prior to ordering. Goodluck with your remodel!!!
