I doubt they will reach 7 foot that took them three so years to get that high, but they survived. I noticed the house across from me had six for or more yellow hibiscus bush that still looks dead.

Anybody else lost hibiscus?
I've got shoots on my five Hibiscus, but they look miserable. I had an absolutely beautiful Jatropha which had grown into an ornamental tree, it is shooting from the base, but nothing from the upper branches, I am really bumbed about the loss of that ornamental, it was a show stopper. On the bright side, my roses have never ever looked better.
