I just received 2 mumes (kobai & peggy clarke) I ordered last week. Because they’re grafted, I’m going to plant them in the yard once they recover from shipping. However, I’m unsure if I should do this since my mumes that I got last year had some dieback this spring. I suspect that the dieback was caused by frost during the time when the saplings were flowering. Would it be a better idea to keep them in my garage since it rarely ever falls below freezing? Any of you guys have mumes that are exposed to frost? What’s your care technique?
I also was planning on taking cuttings come this fall (Once the trees recover), but maybe that’s a bit too soon? Next year (if they remain healthy) I’m going to try layering a small branch on both trees. I know they don’t layer well but after seeing @Wires_Guy_wires success, I figure its worth a try.
Anyways, here’s picture of the Kobai (I’ll post more later since my phone isn’t uploading all pics). It doesn’t have as much foliage as the peggy clarke and what are those black spots?
