They're not girded. Apparently the leaf buds froze and that's that,
I'm told. It may revive or it may not.

Ya, I saw that post/answer too. Check around their bases,
like I said the girdled ones here already have suckers up
8-12 inches.

I've got 200-300 more you can pick/choose from. Pretty long
drive though and most likely illegal
