  Also they soon attain immense proportions ; too large for the average garden but beautiful all the same .

  Wow lucky I didnt buy it then! It looked like a miniture tree of some sort. And very different to the pictures of a fully grown one on google. Thank you all for telling me.

  Hi I would be grateful to know what this tree is. I saw it at a garden centre but none of the staff knew (bizarrely) and there was no label. I loved it.
  

  How dare they call themselves a garden centre?
