Hello all. I accidentally purchased an alpina when first getting started in clems this spring. At the time I ordered, I didn't realize alpinas would not tolerate our climate in the deep south. I had planned on transferring it to another DG'er at our Mid-South roundup, but then the swine flu swooped in and our roundup was cancelled. Flash forward to today. The poor alpina is struggling in a pot. I have it in the shade in a futile attempt to keep it cool enough until our rescheduled roundup in fall. 'Frankie' simply won't make it until then. It's looking very sad indeed. The clem was purchased from SSV this spring and has a fabulous root system. If anybody would like to try to revive it (it's down to very little green at this point, but trimmed back, it will probably come back fine), then please respond here. I would like to receive a reimbursement for postage, if that's okay.
