We bought an 8' specimen from a nursery in PA four years ago. It had been regularly eaten by deer and despite its height, was very scrawny looking. But, for $80 for a tree this size, we decided to give it a chance. It spent 2 days in the back of our pickup with its head sticking out the window (we were visiting relatives over a holiday). We planted it in full sun in our backyard at one of the "dry spots". Despite all that abuse, it has been very happy, is filling in beautifully, and started producing cones last year. Since they grow so slowly, we couldn't be happier about having one this size in our yard. Love it!!
