Has anyone got experiences of it suffering more than slightly
with (a) -10 Celcius in winter or (b) late frosts?
Mine died last winter (2011-12) . I don't think we went down as low as -10, and late frosts were as normal. I think what did for it was day after day with the daytime temperature not coming above 0, and once it did, just the combination of cold and wet.
