We had record cold this year in Central Florida, more than 29 nights in the 20's. I was a littler nervous that some of the tree was damaged, but in Mid April it flowered with no signs of damage. This tree is tough. We even had one night down to 21 degrees and below freezing for more than 12 hours. Tree is doing fine. I would recommend this small tree for street plantings in Central Florida. Most of the theme parks have them everywhere.

I have 2 of these trees that are 4 years old(15gal when planted). 1 looks great and has bloomed every year the other still looks like I just planted it. They are within 60ft of each other in the yard and on the same watering.. The good looking one really hasn't grown much in height/width just filled out. The other one is about the same size as when planted but has never bloomed. It does lose it leaves in the winter but promptly gets them back.
