Hi all,

Clare, the fragrance takes a little getting used to, it always seems to have a 'chemicalish' undertone to it for some reason, at least to my nose. Did you notice that the fragrance is much stronger at night btw?

On hardiness, I live in zone 9a, and only the very tips of younger branches die here, if anything. The last two years it hasn't been cold enough to even totally defoliate it.

Root rot wise I have no info...

Here's another pic from the underneath so you can see how large the stems get, and this is the upper portion, the lower part is twice the size of the one in the picture. It really does require heavy support once it gets going.
