Your lasiocarpa are doing great, I think you were right all lasiocarpa's are not created equally, ours are beauties. I'll try to get some pics up soon, There's one in my gallary but that's not even the big one. Thanks for a great addition.

Thanks very much for the warning Jim. Only reason I considered this was because I saw a video on Utube. I will check out youe pics on winterizing.
You made an excellent point!
