I just find it strange that it just wouldn't grow in the UK as it is
listed as hardy to zone 8b by the big nitidissima expert (at Camellia
Forest - check their website). Perhaps too few ppl have tried to grow it
here?
Anyway, thanks again to all - really nice forum this..

Why do you find it strange that so few people have tried to grow it in
the UK when it is just about impossible to obtain it in the first
place?
