Here it is:
I am not sure how I protected this one ,past Winter,I know I had a bucket(plastic),in top,and possible an old coat of mine,inside over the plant.
The plant is 16 month old and it was in ground from the beginning after it rooted.
It has healthy leaves just like last Summer and it died about half down the stem.
Not bad ,when consider how harsh the Winter was here.

i received two cuttings last fall and both have roooted. they do show very slight mosaic pattern, but no deformation of the leaves . i'm sure they will shake it off soon. i'm definitely waiting to compare this with USDA/UCD Ischia Black.

Stored mine in the garage. It's doing very well.
