I'm not sure the RES will survive up near Lansing Mi.
I have trouble in NW KS at 3700' elevation getting RES to survive BUT..a buddy in MI has SMB and YP spawning 2-3 weeks before me, so maybe RES would do better there than I think.


There are a lot of micro climates in Michigan due to the large Great Lakes. I am USDA Zone 6a here in Plymouth Indiana, Lake Odessa. Mi is also 6a. I bet Ron is 6 or 6a. Holland Mi, due West of Lake Odessa is 6
