I planted a creeping fig vine a dozen years ago and it grew to nearly completely cover the front of my garage, up and then across twenty feet. The vines were inch sized and better. Fruit too. Four years ago we had a late "winter" freeze hard enough to kill it back to bare wood, and we cut it down to the ground a few months later.

It's grown back from the roots but it's still in its juvenile stage after all these years, and maybe four foot long at the most. Is it possible that the badly timed freeze wasn't the cause of death? Is it possible this is permanent?
