Beautiful roots, Anya!
I too received my order from Gold City, but I haven't opened it yet.
My poor Ofujinishiki was flattened by flood debris. I have dug it out, but all it's leaves are gone. The flood debris was stacked three feet high in that bed. I have now estimated that the floodwaters were anywhere from 2 to 5 feet high over my entire property. The only spots that didn't get flooded were up at the top of my driveway! 😳
It is going to take me a long time to clean up. But I am sure I will get a lot done over the winter.
