Does anyone have any experience of growing this? We are looking for a
an interesting small evergreen tree to go into a 3 metre square bed
with indifferent soil and an open northerly aspect in South Devon.

The RHS plant selector indicates that it is probably hardy enough for
our location.



There's one in the garden of the museum in Wimborne. It is surrounded by
buildings on all sides though, this will shelter and protect it.
