My Grimo 89 eventually leafed out, but from a bud much lower on the graft. I just took the plantra tree tubes off for the season on Sunday 8/25/2024 and this is what they look like. while the Grimo 89 is much smaller than the 94, since the growth was from a node much lower on the graft, the 94 essentially had a 1 foot head start on it. the 89 was also (unintentionally) planted in an area that gets less sun. I’m surprised at how well they seemed to handle the drought conditions we had this summer with zero irrigation after the first month or so after planting. very tempted to preorder a few other Grimo heartnuts particularly Grimo 99 and a compatible pollinator like grimo 75.
