The red variety had die off this winter with temperatures in the mid teens Fahrenheit. Green, common variety more hardy (they are still all about town as well as in my yard). Looks like a small palm when older. Mine started out as a gift plant in a small planter and is now 15 feet tall.

Winter 2009 thought I had lost this plant/tree. Most in town were killed. Mine was killed to the ground and we cut it down. Returned from roots during the fall.
