Does anyone know how hardy this is? Bean says not (and that is my most

Not very, I suspect. There's an old specimen here on
gulf-stream-warmed Arran, in a sheltered position in a S facing garden.
I don't recall ever seeing one on the Scottish mainland, which may be a
clue :-)

Bother. Thanks.

Anyway, I am going to try, but shall not repeat the experiment if it fails.
