Cindy,
Yes, indeed! I felt very fortunate when I found this little one growing in a Caladium bed.
I was very concerned about the placement of it, because I too had heard that they are 'understory' trees, and this one is in full sun. But it does though seem to be doing quite well.(She says as she's knocking on wood!) Hilarious!
I planted this one in 2011, and it has pretty much been ignored, as far as the fertilizer goes. I do have it mulched, but it's growing in our good old Florida sand. Very adverse conditions, indeed! Again, I'm still knocking on that wood! And keeping my fingers crossed!
