I had been driving by my old Washy pal for months thinking it had given up after 4 winters of 0° to single digit exposure! This one, by a Mexican restaurant in Garland, Texas (last 30 odd years), is a true fighter! Surely one of only a handful that are left in N  Tx area with any sort of trunk. And it is totally exposed in a concrete surrounded jungle!

Looks like hell, but it lingers on.  It must regrow a crown fairly quickly?

That concrete is probably why it survived (urban heat island effect).

Not much growth considering it is almost August.  Poor thing!

But I should add, I have seen a large washie take until July 4 here to show any green in 2011. It is now fully recovered. So maybe it will become what it once was, and then some!

As cold as it was with a layer of sleet & snow? Low temps are low temps. Her dna must be superior!
