From what I've seen, it gets very cold there, they do get snow
on the ground during winter, as Kato is in the mountain area of
Japan. Maybe the tops freeze off during winter and the RZ's send up
new fans in spring?
T > Have you ny growth on the spuds you salvaged?
I've got 2 small fans on one small RZ starting to grow and one
small one just starting to show up on another one.
