Thanks for your reply. I must read more carefully! I'm more than happy to support the conservation of the tree and have ordered one so am looking forward to it's arrival. I want to ultimately have it growing outdoors in my garden. It's quite cold here and we suffer from spring frosts, although I have succeded with various Eucalypts, Callistemon spp. Do you think i could plant it outdoors immediately or should I grow it on for a few years before planting it out?
