Bought one of these beauties a couple of years ago, and the label says 1.5 m by 1.5 m (5 foot by 5 foot in real money) which is surprising, as I've seen huge specimens around
The first winter I almost took it back to the nursery, as it shed its leaves, then in the spring the baby leaves appeared, a burnt brown colour. Yikes! definitely dying I thought.
In fact this was healthy new growth, and the whole plant took off that second summer, once I'd given it some basic liquid feed.
Mine covers an area of tat hedge with its lovely cream & green leaves, all year round, grows slowly, and is so well behaved.
Recommmend 'em highly.
