Well it was in his backyard....over the weekend he put it into a pot because he thought the roots would get trapped in the tree trunk. It had been eaten in some parts by pests as well, but it's still doing okay. It's about three feet tall give or take, and.....well I'll get a pic if possible, but it's not in the tree trunk anymore. I don't know how good it'll do in the future so if any problems occur I'll be sure to ask for advice, thanx !
