    This plant survived the Winter in Zone 5. The first picture was taken in 2007 and the other two in 2008. I did add some wood chips over the plant. It will be interesting to see how this plant produces in 2008. I also have six seedlings now in the garden.

    There is not much difference in the size of the seedlings and the one plant that over-wintered.

    Two fruiting bodies are forming on the one plant that over-wintered. Other pictures showing growth of the seven plants.

    All plants growing well. Rain and high humidity seems to be the criteria. This year we have had much rain and rather cool temperatures.
