    Just a typo on the 50.80 cm.{1 1/2'} , sure you mean 5.08 cm. Nice pics and appreciate the description.

    When they are happy, Little Gems can get big. We have 3 that are in the 14-15 year old range that are close to 30" wide. They are stunning in the spring when they push their chartreuse new growth.
