    I've got a young one that I've overwintered in the greenhouse and its now sprung into life with plenty of new growth emerging. Not sure yet whether to find a spot in the ground for it or go for a large pot for this year?? I know eventually it'll have to go in the ground to achieve its true size :)

      I've got a 2-year old one in the ground. It is a 6" stump at the mo but I think it's alive. It survived the previous winter.
