Hi
@19Mateo83! The tree is doing fine. I'm not sure what exactly caused the die-back after the first winter, but it is doing well now. I repotted it in Spring 2021 and still have issues with those flies, although they weren't as bad this year. I'm guessing they aren't hurting the tree, but they are really annoying.
I have also continued overwintering it outside, mulched into a raised garden bed with a cover without any issues. I ran out of room in the garden bed this year, so it's mulched into another area of the yard with wind protection, but no cover. We'll see how it goes this year!
