    I saw this at Wisely last March

    It forms a small tree up to about 7m, but in cultivation prob won't get that big.
    I have seen them outdoors at Kew in October but I am not sure they would survive our winters outdoors, even though they are from the Drakensburg in SA. So may possibly hasve a measure of cold tolerance.

    My seedlings have long way to go before flowering.

        This is something I have heard of but never looked into, thanks for bringing it up Sirius.

        I think I need to try this.;)
