Here is some info on the winter damage to my in ground trees. Only two trees did not come back from the past winter.
They are Col de Dame Noir and a spare Black Madeira. We had some single digit temps and would not
expect the Black Madeira to make it. I did however expect to see the Col de Dame Noir bounce back. Here are the
other trees that have budded back out with only 2-3 inches of pine straw as mulch/protection: Malta Black,
Marsellies Black vs, LSU Scotts Black, Large Negronne, Col de Dame Grise, Valle Negra, Malta Mission, Abicou,
Red Lebanese (Marius), Lebanese Red (Bass), Alma, Salce, Nero600m, Sals El GC, Takoma Violette, Black Greek,
Lyndhurst White, VdB, Lounge d' Aout, RdB, Ginos Black, Barnisotte Noire, Rosemarys NY Purple, Sals Corleone,
Petite Negri EL, Col de Dam Black, Carini, Bethlehem Black, Pane E Vino Dark and Smith.
I realize this does not help you folks in Midwest and Northeast but you can see how they fared here under
the conditions I stated. All but the Smith and Bethlehem Black had total die back to the ground.
