Thanks you both! I woke up to the temp at 24 this morning
we are having quite the cold snap. I've tented it for the past few days, but I wanted to share a picture. The weather should let up soon, I don't even want to think about what is going on with the younger tree and herbaceous peonies.... An excuse to try some new varieties at best.
This is the current situation this morning.
And this was a few springs ago. The plant is at least 16 years old.
