Hi Doc,
I got one from Edible LAndscaping in a pot last year. I gave it to a friend 
who is 
an acupuncturist for her office, but I actually don't know how it is doing. 
My 
sense is it may have died, but I don't think that is any fault of the 
nursery. I 
have been very satisfied with ordering from Edible Landscaping in general. 
Hope 
this helps!
