Both of these cuttings were very scrawny. The near cutting was planted on 7/21/2012 and the other on 8/9/2012. I was moving them in and out of the house because of cold fronts coming through. They showed no sign of life at all during this movement. Finally around the last week of April I set them out and haven't moved them at all since then. The growth has occurred during that 4 week period, and most of it during the last week.
