In Ireland I saw a few near Blarney Castle that were over 12'. How do they do in your area? Very beautiful photos.
"Moroccan Blue" might be your trade name, in Europe there's cerifera for silver Chamaerops. Mahonia is a weed in here (growing to about 3m in height and 6 to 10 in width). Grown mostly in public places such as school playgrounds. Marcel's almost identical climate as I am...
It's one of the most beautiful exotic gardens north of Mediterranean I've seen.
