| my crypto died.. yoshino ...in zone 5 ...good luck with that .. and since i know NOTHING about the others.. i will presume that i have ignored learning about them .. because they are not zone appropriate .... for my version of zone 5 ... keep in mind .. as they all look to be mini's or dwarfs .. snow cover will give you at least one, if not 2 zones ... if they get covered in early winter ... and stay covered through late winter .... i actually got a dozen or so cham. lawson's to winter over for me .. by covering them with rose cones .... some grew with such vigor that they out grew the cones and ... most died at that point ... some are still surviving in a very special micro-climate ... no winter sun .. and no winter wind ... so i would highly recommend that you protect them .. at least for the first year .... good luck.. your enthusiasm is what excites me to come back to the forum in the drab days of fall ... keep up the good work .. ken |
