Drat Scott, you got the good Ti. Mine has never gotten taller than 12". Tampa is much warmer in the winter so I suspect it does not like my marshy soil which can be chilly and damp in winter. It has always been outdoors. We used to have a Big Island grower who was active here on the site, she put me in touch with the breeder of this one. I don't remember it being vintage green farms but the name might have changed, I bought mine in 2007.
