Definitely not a foot a year. I will be interested to see how this year
goes however as it will get a lot more sun. A foot a year may be true
for early growth but they slow down as they mature. It is really a
pretty new cultivar so I don't know that mature specimens even exist.

My Little Gem blooms from summer into November. They need a lot of sun

well grown tree may cost more but may be worthwhile considering how slow
they grow.


How large has yours gotten? From what I've read they grow
about a foot a year and do bloom almost year round. We're
looking forward to planting ours.
