Citrangequat experiment

In the fall I received a Citrangequat. It was too tall for the house, so I cut it down a bit - (made 8 cuttings - 2 took and are in pots) and although I had no business doing it (not enough bark) I attempted to overwinter it in the garden with minimal protection, a used window roof and plastic sheeting only. It did well and went dormant, all winter. Alas, just before the last significant snowstorm of the season it was 80 degrees in the yard, I removed the glass roof and left a screen on worrying it would wake up. Well, some "Libation" was occuring on that sunny day in the yard, and I completely forgot to replace the roof and it got heavily snowed on. It survived but I got splits on all upper green bark. I pulled it and its recouping in a pot. When I get more bark on it or another specimen like my satsuma on trifoliate


, I intend to try again........
