    I haven't seen ones as tall as the ones you see in america, they don't call them sky dusters for nothing. Not sure we have the heat to get too high ? I recon they would be fine in dry conditions but perhaps not completely arid. I will post up a picture later it arrived early and its a beauty. :D

    I didn't think either, Robusta or fillilera, were particually cold tolerant, my little one seems to survive down to minus 5C but it sure looks a mess by spring.
    Just something that I noticed this winter is that the leaves that are held horizontal catch the frost much worse than the emerging ones that are vertical. [​IMG]
