Says the guy that can tell gender by seedling
about two weeks ago some seeds popped out of the ground by my friends back porch. two of them, in about 3 inches of gravel, right at the corner. we laughed about it and just left them there. It freezes every night, that spot gets maybe 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. I rained just before then, and snowed just after. the snow melted over a few days and its been nothing but sunny and overnight freezing since then. He hasnt messed with them at all. they are 8 inches tall now and putting out their first couple sets of branches..... so half the age and twice as far along. the leaves are just going from 5 to 7 fingers, nice deep dark green foliage.... outside, freezing, under a couple inches of gravel, no care or nurture at all, less light even. warmest it gets during the day is 60 degrees for maybe an hour and a half or so.
