Yes I spoke with Eric about it many months ago on the hardy palms and subtropicals website. Last I heard from him it was in a state of suspended animation and wasn't growing much. I'll have to get in touch with him again. I suspect it would do well is southern california. Who knows, maybe it could adapt to florida conditions?
