Tom,
Experience was a cruel teacher....
I had to get one each for my friend and I to bring back to Ohio. I was told by SEVERAL folks out there that they will not thrive and will probably die in Ohio...why?...Too humid and wet, too much rain. They will tend to rot along soil/bark line most probably.
Pooeyy! says I, I can control that.
I knew a couple from Cleveland area who took the sage shohin workshop.
well, theirs died FAST.
And mine and my buddys ( kept by two different experienced people) died fast.
Now, it's possible they were never established befoe being sold. Who knows, but...
Been there....done that....having T-shirt printed!
Leave them here....

....... SIGH ........
Dale, I appreciate the input. I will do my best not to rebel against experience. However don't shake your head ruefully if I have a moment of weakness.
