What a shame they are lovely trees

Oh, that's a shame. I tried to grow this as well, but it never grew at all. I believe they are quite tricky as they are so brittle - shame because they are so beautiful!

Oh, this is sad to hear, I must look out for mine, so far he is doing well, it is about 2 yrs old.

it grew really well all the years we had it except for the year before it died, the leaves looked all curly and had brown spots on them and were dropping off, can remember wondering what was the matter with it, but did look it up on the internet and it seems that quite a few had died and i visited Ashwood's Nurseries own garden last year and they had lost one too and noticed another one just up the road from me. (Ashwood's one was alot older than mine).
