Well I planted 2,000 this year. We had a catagory 5 down burst when they were 4.5- 5' tall. They were a loss. The ones out frnt. did great. with the exeption of two that were stolen.I sold alot of transplants for decorations, Most folks here don't know how to harvest or cure them. They don't seem to care to. They like them for the looks in the yard.I tell them to let Me harvest them in trade for new ones next year.
PS: avatar was funny so I posted it LOL
