    And I expect you may be able to get one locally if you have a good tree nursery or garden centre near you.. Good Luck..:thumb:

    I always thought they were deep rooted and less of a problem. I have two in the garden, one of which is about 2 metres from the house. They grow fine in the UK and respond well to heavy spring pruning.:)
