I planted a plot of Extreme on Sep 11th. It popped up and grew well and nothing touched it until the week before Thanksgiving, when they cleaned it out. It will be interesting to see how it does in the spring.
Extreme is supposed to be for dry areas and we had two hurricanes dump at least 7 inches of rain on it soon after it was planted. You just can't plan the weather.
Here is what was left inside of the exclusion cage.
