surprise, I chose the original number one 980 that was larger and cut the smaller ugly duckling. I went with my gut and the heat tolerance seemed the same as they got older. This plant is very aggressive and large so far. I am really battling the aphids real early like never before. Sprayed organicide twice in a couple days trying to knock them out.

This is a picture of the stump. I covered it with some plastic so it stays dry. I cut out a few leaves around the stump since they were burned a little and had the aphids in that area. I figured they would be cleared anyway soon and with the 800 foot patch this year, no need to worry.
