i have several seedlings of Wonderful
since the tree is not "true to seed" results might not be the same for Wonderful.
They are doing nicely in humid New Orleans

This year we had no flowers which may have been due to the more severe late frost. I'm purchasing a roll of plastic bubble shipping material and will wrap the plant next spring if there is any hint of a late frost.
