A couple years ago I bought a Satsuma. Don't remember which one. I just picked it up at Lowes garden center. Last year during all the cold and ice I didn't cover it. it died out. Well spring of this year it came back out. But when it did it looked like a "Mock Orange" with the thorns on it. Is that what they do? or did something else come up?

Your grafted part of the tree froze. It will need to be grafted again. what you have growing is understock

This is a message for Bonnie Childers from Nita Caskey, Gal Co Master Gardener Assoc: In the past I've sent GCMG monthly calendars of classes to you at buddinman2@gmail.com, but recently they've been bouncing back. Are you no longer at this address, or would you no longer like to receive these? Thank you
