I called my local florist, and asked if they had any fresh branches, and they did. Gave 1 branch for free!!!, and it has 3 branches from 1 main one.
They grow quickly, but I always put them in a large container. They overwintered very well in Winnipeg (think it's zone 2b?!) in the container (as long as it's large enuff - one you get in garden centers with shrubs in it would be fine).
So, I've got one started (rooting in plain water, just like any cutting.......)
If you want it to look like it's growing straight out of the ground, plant the container & all. It can be a very invasive plant, so if you don't want a grove in a few years, I strongly suggest container planting :-)
It's quite a pretty tree - long thin pale green leaves, and curly branches
