@JB I am in the process of reading this thread and am on page 2. But I wanted to ask a question. You sent me several Sweet Shrub seed pods back in January 2016. I was wondering if you could tell me if this plant is a Sweet Shrub just by looking at the leaves? I put seeds in several jugs and put them outside on Jan 10, 2017. I later decided that maybe I should not have put them out in our cold temperatures so I brought them in after a week or so. I put them in my little garage greenhouse where they were toasty warm and a couple sprouted. I think this is the only one that survived if in fact it is a Sweet Shrub. I have more seeds so I plan to germinate more later. Also if this is a Sweet Shrub will it withstand our 5a winter temps in the ground here?
