Great article as usual, seeing you more and more in great places!

As a status from my triumphs and tribulations food forest, I thought my starfruit got whacked by the frost, but to my surprise it is sprouting branches and leafing out like there is no tomorrow. Same with my katuk, i have them up against the south wall, and they are coming back just fine.

Now as for my cassava, I cut and stored cassava cuttings as always, to start in the spring. But I left many of the trees intact through the winter. We did;t really have a freeze this year, and as you know frost was minimal. Will the cassava’s leaf out and continue to grow or should I cut them down and let them come back from the root? They are still green under the thin bark, but are showing no signs of sprouting, I may be a bit early in my expectations, and may to be a bit more patient.

Thanks,
