I purchased a 2 foot tall specimen I found in the clearance section at my local Lowe's for $10. It has grown about 5 inches and survived two tropical storms with no problems. I planted it in the front yard hoping that it will become a nice little tree-and hopfully will look great at Christmas with a few stings of lights on it!

Beautiful texture, upright habit, have 2 specimens 5'-6' tall x 2' wide, were very dense, but now open branched because of recent spider mite infestation. I like the new form better, and improved air circulation should help prevent future infestations. Have seen as tall as 9' in nursery, do not know how tall this plant can get.
