I potted up about half my TB's (50 - 60ish) Half went into dry drive
shed to freeze all winter, most buried in sand in a cold frame, 22
rhizomes left in the bed in situ, covered with sand after first freeze,
rest were left alone, just covered with pine branches. Forgot to say 4
were potted up, left in basement at 48 degrees most of the time.
Results
Dry drive shed all doing well NO ROT
Cold frame all doing well NO ROT
4 from basement rot city 4 deaths
in situ - sand covered slight rot here and there. All scraped
& ajaxed and shooting well
in situ - branch covered best growth to date- fair amount of rot.
Lost 3
Now I know what to do here in zone 4 So. Ontario.
Leave in their beds, cover with sand and branches.
All are back in the ground, hopefully without disturbing the roots.
