This guy is slowly but surely growing - no problems with the temps down to the high 20s. The ice storm last year cost me a couple of fans but it’s fine.

This plant passed the top of the fence this summer but only by about a half of leave length.
The leaves are the same size, the stems they are on are getting longer.
Nothing seems to bother this plant, I’d plant another if I had the room.
