I bet the Arborea genes in there made yours much more tolerant of your weather. Here Arborea flowers right thru winter, well until this uncommon and nasty freeze we had for 2 weeks. It really got frostbitten. I have a sucker on mine that towers over my house and it is so damaged when I look up there. I was supposed to cut and make it into a standard all summer and I was too lazy. So that taught me.
I wonder if you crossed them to another colored sang you would bring out more color but retain the arborea influence. I love their leaves much more than I like brug leaves.

Here you can drive around, especially in the city, and you find big trees of sangs and the "vulcanicolas." They just love living in San Francisco. It is the perfect weather for them. And the great thing about living near the Arboretum, is they love to share their goodies. You can buy very rare plants at their sales.
