"I bought one 15 years ago and it is still my favorite. However, I almost lost it twice a few years ago after it had reached a good 15' high. I cut it way down because many of the smaller branches died. Now it has recovered but I keep it covered when weather is extreme to prevent the leaves from burning in very high temperatures and freezing temperatures. Fortunately, it recovered fully both times and is back to it's full height and fullness. It's beautiful !"
