Howdy Veece83. I can send a message to the fellow who sold me one to see if he has more available & is willing to ship to you. I'm away from home at the moment, but when I'm back I can take a picture for you.
The pup took quite awhile to really thrive (possibly due to my lack of experience starting from a pup), so it's a lot smaller than you might expect, but it's now really happy. Its root system wasn't establishing correctly -- perhaps I potted it up too early -- so I planted some beans in with it figuring they would help fix nitrogen and condition the soil. Ever since then, it's been growing happily.
I definitely won't be leaving it out for the winter - I'll start making experiments of that sort once I've got my own pups. I've seen all sorts of tricks, and I think you could come up with something. I'm interested in trying to wrap a string of small christmas lights that generate a small amount of heat in with my bubble wrapping - heard of that being a success for citrus over winter to take the edge off.
