Del,
I have one tree from the seeds you sent.  Only 3 pits sprouted, and two died
shortly after planting in pots.  The remaining one is 29 inches high and
very healthy.  I have it in a 1-gallon can and will bury it in the nursery
bed for winter.  Thanks!  This tree is obviously special.
Doreen Howard
