Hi Mike. Where have you seen this in Cyprus? We saw some amazing specimens in Athens and in Cindy Evans' garden in Majorca but not here in Cyprus. Ours was a gift from David Dickinson , thousand thanks, and it came I believe from Lucca, Italy. It has been in the ground for three years. It decreased in size and it is a small ' two stick' but has survived 2 hot summers. In fact it is trying to flower.
