How I wish it could have been the pine where half broke off but it's another one. I'm now creating a minor ditch between the main Houttuynia area and the rear of that garden to try and catch strays that want to cross either way.

Every tiny bit of root that remains in the earth will grow as evidenced by this photo. You can see the thicker/older tiny pieces have grown quite a bit in the two weeks since I last dug there. The piece at the 5 1/8" mark is even in leaf already...or it was until I trashed it.
