Hardly any taller but a few more leaves.
They did say it was the slowest growing tree.
Wonder if I will reach the ripe old age of 90 to see it resemble a tree!!!

Fab Andy!  I get a real kick out of growing the unusual and slow from seed.  I get a real sense of achivement.  Good for you!  ;D

It looks spectacular when huge! Not sure what the cause is of the brown tips though?
