Uncovered my basjoos the other day, not as happy as I would have hoped but these stumps look like they should put out some leaves. Either way pretty sure the roots are alive and will start from pups worst case scenario.
Protection, doesn't look so pretty under the tarp.
Unwrapped, lookin much worse than expected...
Some p-stem was salvaged though...
They took one day early one in winter that went down to -20C and they weren't tucked in too tight yet at that point, which I think it what hurt them so much. Been covering them back up at night a bit because its still getting below freezing for a few hours but hoping that letting the sun warm up the soil for a while each day will get them kickstarted sooner than later.
