Many thanks, Nick. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, Lazarus.

I have one and I have had it in a pot for about 6 years now. It is just coming into bloom at the
moment. Last year I repotted it into a slightly larger pot. I guess it is in a 12" pot now and I
have pea gravel on the top.

A very pretty tree.
