I've had a Willi's Gold against a West facing wall since 2008. It is in a large, 20" container. There are some large Loblolly pines and a Live Oak or two that somewhat filter the light but nothing is closer than 50' so the plant really gets blasted with sun at times. We have had some cold nights the past two winters and it died back to the roots both times but popped right back up in the spring.
