Thank you! I actually brought these up from FL in March. My neighbor there was thinning hers and throwing these in the garbage! I rescued them and put them in here, NJ, the last week in March. When we returned to NJ the first week in May, they weren't looking too good and I thought I'd made a mistake, but they grew like a beanstalk! I think I'll be relocating them along the fence though. Hubby thinks they block too much of the house - I don't - I love 'em!
