I have been trying to grow this little beauty for about ten years with very little success. I have bought seedlings and grown from seeds. Neither method has given me a tree that will flower as shown in pictures that I see in books. At most ,I can seem to get only one or two years before the tree dies. I have tried various locations,from dry and well drained ground to almost sloppy ground at the edge of a lake. I have tried hard clay,sandy and well moist ground. I presently have two in tall plastic pots about 8-10" in diameter and about 2' tall. They both were grown from seed two years ago and have lived two winters here in northern Mississippi ,which is temp zone 6. If anyone has had success with this tree and can give me some tips on keeping them alive I will greatly appreciate the news.
