I am not sure if the plant in the picture is really 'Crete.' According to Salley and Greer, 'Crete' grows to 7 feet tall in 10 years. This plant is growing like a typical yak hybrid, and will stay very compact and be very small after 10 years. Please send me an email if you can tell me more. This plant was purchased at Builders Square, Fall 1999.
