When we move to Oklahoma, we had one growing in the middle of the front flower bed. Not only was is planted in a bad area (no sun and limited space to grow in), but it was always needing pruning. It is now growing in my friends backyard about 15 minutes from my house. :)

I have this plant on the front (left side) of my home. I get constant compliments on its unusual and great looks. I have not been able to grow more from cuttings but I'm still trying.

Neutral palmbob On Feb 29, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This form usually doesn't fruit, and it's usually from a graft (sometimes bud). So it's invasiveness or diluting the gene pool is a non-issue (at least for this cultivar). Does well in zone 10a, despite reports the 'normal' form does not. IT is a deciduous tree and loses leaves, in southern California, about mid December, and gets them back in early spring. Great look, especially when small enough branches drape the ground. Good tree for smaller areas.
