How do they get on over wintering in e.g. Gateshead? Could someone with
personal experience please let me know.

They are looking lovely at the mo in Aberdeen - I have one which has grown
on outside in a pot for a few years now, with no ill effects - left out
summer and winter - rain or very occasional shine :-)

Good. I think it's probably worth a try, anyway. I'll suggest he takes
some cuttings as a precaution.
