I live in a colder climate - and have 45, 2 year old seedlings. The first winter - which was pretty mild by our standards - I had a lot of what I would call evergreens - with a sprinkling of semi's and dormants. Last winter, which was very cold, nasty & snowy - when I dug down under all of that snow - every single one of those seedlings had foliage that had died down completely to the ground except 1 or 2. I think that labeling a plant dormant, semi or evergreen is not a simple things, and sometimes the results are based on where the hybridizer grows them. ~Jan
