How's your's doing? Mine, planted late May 2008 came through a hot summer of full sun with sometimes windy conditions and the -17° winter with no die back what so ever. It's just about 1/3 leafed out now and it's stunning at this stage. I did some corrective pruning in early January and will complete the pruning process January 2010. I give it 1" water every week through drip irrigation. Other than that, I'd say this one's a definite winner in the easy care and hardiness department. The picture is a little blurry because it's really windy here today. I also learned it's a sport of 'Geisha'. Some of you might already know that but it's news to me.
