They are only marginally hardy here in North Georgia. The only living part of that tree is low down on the trunk. It is trying to sprout and grow and you are rubbing it off! The upper parts are most assuredly dead, so the only growth is going to be low on the trunk. My suggestion is to allow it to grow and become a multi-trunked tree...and hope it gets more established before the next harsh Minnesota winter! Let me know how it does through the summer. Hani,
