Sorry - meant to add this:

Is that real? Wierd!
Do you happen to know how hardy they are? Would they survive a
central-European winter?

I'm sorry, Tim, I don't know. The best thing would probably be to type the
Latin name into a botanical site and see what it kicks up. OTOH, you could
ring the people in Jersey for their opinion.
And yes, it's real. Traditionally, the walking sticks are finished with a
Jersey coin set into the top.

ISTR from a seed catalogue that they grow better in warmer climates.
