More upon general conditions in here:
Winters are quite long (decent one stars mostly in late November, early December and sometimes drags out till early April). Overall temperature to my guess would be between -10 C and -15 C but can get as low as -25 C (or even -30 C). Snow coverage on my 3rd floor balcony is mostly around 10 cm. I could be able to get good wind coverage there though.
At the moment the plant has been in for a weak or so and is starting to shed leaves, even though a single bud still tries to open up.
For the most par I'm just scared to do more harm by hasty, wrong actions.
