hardy here, and beautiful, but, so far, rather shrubby. 
Sophora davidii (S. P. I. No. 21967) is interesting as 
material for hedges and bee pasture. The ends of some 
of the fine twigs die back over winter, for a few 
inches, somewhat like some standard nursery varieties 
of Russian mulberries; but it goes ahead every spring. 
The following are hardy here and doing well: Populus 
simonii, 22363; Juglans regia, 44200; Diospyros lotus, 27512; 
Lonieera sp., 39697 ; Buddleia davidii, 43677 ; Elaeagnus angusti folia , 
28806; Cotoneaster rotundifolia , 32937, and C. integerrima, 
33156, are hardy, and the leaves persist over winter."
