Thanks to Moira, Tony, Jane, Joan, & Beverly, for
elucidating this muddle. I'm sure it was, as Tony
said, a 'slip of the pen,' , and the plant label should have read E.
denticulata. It is indeed, as Beverly reported a slow grower, with a total
of five leaves after what appears to be two year's growth. I will have to be
patient.
>>Tony Rudd: All are worth growing: I especially
like the small-leaved E. obovatus from littoral rainforests and
the very tall and fast-growing E. grandis of riverine rainforests,
which drops intense blue fruit the size of large marbles.
Tony, would you know if E. grandis can curvive the occasional
frost?
