i am attempting to germinate seeds of the south american one right now.....
a nearby town has them planted around the town hall... i might approach the gardener about getting a pup... could be the other var.
anyhow they do bring them outside each year and they are fairly big... this is in zone 6
they are planted in the ground... when i contact the gardener i will ask what temperature they dig them up and bring them in

a local nursery had two huge ones outside their doorway ($1500 CAD each)
and that was fairly early in the spring so they must have some cold tolerance

a customer at work had one in a south facing two story window and it looked nice
happy with that environment it would seem
