I planted one years ago in a tough place. Winter didn't kill it but mine never has grown much. I have seen a beautiful one in a park in Springfield, MO. I think mine wants better soil.

I planted one last year...still not sure if it is alive this year. I think they are quite beautiful. If mine is alive I intend to apply native mulch (aka,strawy cow manure)heavily.

I need to relocate them to a more open spot in full sun but I guess I'll wait till they show signs of life first. Thanks!

Either mine died or it just hasn't emerged yet. I have no leaves. When I tried to break a twig it was limber. I would move it while it is dormant.

Ahh success! For one anyway. It's putting out some buds now. Hopefully the other is just lagging behind a bit. That area stayed waterlogged though so it may be dead. Only time will tell.

Mine has new growth at the base! I am happy. The variety is called 'Shoal Creek'.

That's seedling snow-on-the-mountain around it. I may have to cut some out. They will hide the chaste tree!
