Huh? Looks dead to me.

It's also referred to as "naked branch" due to how it looks in the fall, winter and spring.

My seeds just arrived.

 

[so lucky]

Close ups of the leaves kind of remind me of ginko. Not the same shape leaves, but the placement, maybe.

update. The little guy is doing great and popping our leaves like crazy.

@flowerweaver Have you germinated your seeds yet?

 

[flowerweaver]

@SprigOfTheLivingDead LOL, they are still in their envelope. I've been busy sowing TPS potatoes, eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes in the greenhouse. Once things I can eat are out of the way I'll get these and other tree/shrub/vine/flower seeds started. Yours are looking really good! They look like little bonsai trees.

Update. Still going strong

Yeah, I just hope I protect it enough outside so a deer doesn't eat it :/
