Thanks for looking

I saw a 4 foot one at a local boutique nursery and almost swooned! I was on my way to find a dolly to haul it to the register and stuff it in my truck when my friend pointed out that is was $599.00. Needless to say, I decided to find a smaller more budget friendly one.

I have gotten a lot of cautions from various people who have warned me that it really needs to be shaded for 2 - 4 years while the roots develop. Truthfully, I am not excited about the idea of shade cloth gracing my back yard (The spot I have in mind is 15 feet from my patio) for several years, so I may experiment with keeping it in progressively larger containers for the next few years and in complete dappled shade ON the patio until it can be slowly adjusted to the spot I have chosen for it.

If you get one - post pictures of it, I think they are absolutely STUNNING and will make a dramatic focal point.
