Neem plant (Azadirachta indica)

Has anyone tried growing neem? I looked online there's virtually no plants OR seeds on sale in the UK, found one Indian-based seed seller on eBay. I don't trust eBay on these matters but I'd give it a go as it's only £3.75 a packet, however I can't find much information on how to grow it, either.

Can it survive outside? One report says it can grow in zone 9a, another that it is only hardy to 0 degrees C... How about a patio pot which will be moved indoors in winter? If grown indoors full-time, will it thrive?

Many thanks.

 

Here's a bit of info on them. Sounds like it might be possible to grow in a pot if you're careful. Hey, it can't hurt to try!

Um. Good points. I did use to have a date palm in a pot in a city flat, in a colder climate. Grown from a stone of a date I ate! No "sewing in good quality seed compost under glass" or anything like that, just stuck a handful of stones into several house plant pots. I mean, pots where something already grew. Two stones germinated! Kept one and gave one away. I was 12.
Bit mad, aren't I

 

Oh thanks for that Marley
I'll have a go.. after I've dug up my front garden and built a slide for my little one with excess clay! I've certainly gone mad with my gardening projects this year (to compensate for the previous 2 years being unable to do anything there)

I've also got 3 macadamia seedling.. God knows what I'm gonna do with these.. I don't know if they'll ever even flower!

It's just, every time I come across/read about some obscure plant I can't help but have a go at growing it. From seed usually. To avoid going bankrupt :OUCH:
