Found a picture of it about 3 weeks after I took the bubble wrap off... most of the leaves were off the main trunk and inner stems.. you cant see the small leaves starting on the other stems.. I had not cut the dead off it yet.. I had cut it back in the fall but not all the way.... anyway... this picture was taken March 31, 2008 as you can tell.. it has quite a jump start over if it had been cut to the ground and where it would have been by that date... If you think about it.. the end of march is still pretty early to be growing so well! We had to take the bubble wrap off because leaves were starting to poke out wherever they could find a spot! LOL
