Lime Zinger

From: Andy Cabe acabe at Riverbanks.org> on 2002.04.01 at 16:25:27(8392) Tony, The coldest temperature was 17 degrees. We reached that twice. It may have been a bit warmer in the location where the 'Lime Zinger' was planted. Overall, we had 51 days where the temperature was less than or equal to 32 degrees. I think that the main trunk may have rotted a bit but there are definately 4-5 plants poking out of the soil now. The plant that we left in the ground was fairly large, so that may have played a part in it coming back this spring. +More -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 8:16 AM To: Multiple recipients of list AROID-L Subject: Re: Alocasia 'Calidora' Andy: Good news on the X.
