.
  I have no experience of this tree outside England There have been a number
of articles on this tree in the USA bee magazines which may be worth looking
up.
           We live in a valley and are prone to ocasional late frosts. These
often burn off the young growth which sets the plant back a bit. However the
plants have always recovered in a few weeks and made fresh growth. There are
a couple of Tetradias in this area that have reached 20ft or so in height
and are flowering regularly. These are 10 or 12 years old. There used to be
a very old speciman in the Chelsea Physic Garden in London but I believe it
was destroyed in a storm a few years ago
