A specimen?? Ha! good luck. You'll be lucky to find a small one. I had it once but it was very weak for me. One of the few plants I lost even after ''looking after'' it closely.

Thanks Sno, I'll give them a go.


Treeman, A small specimen would do. I want to try some grafting onto more vigorous root stock.

I got one from Ray Nesci. I've had for a year and it's growing fine although I don't know how much as it is with my stock plants and hasn't had much attention

Thanks Dansai, I'll give him a go as well.
