Like David, I didn't think I'd ever be relieved to be in z4. Our winters still pretty much suck, but I'm grateful to have avoided what's happening to so many. The most shocking aspect of this ordeal is just how large a section of the country was affected by the cold snap, and how deeply it went into the south. I planted a number of marginal plants last year and all seemed to do just fine. The Stuartia, Carpinus japonica, M. glyptostroboides 'Ogon', Lindera, etc. are all looking good. Heck, this just might be the year my Redbud finally puts on a show.
