    Could it be a Montanoa hibiscifolia?

    I think they are Argyranthemum frutescens. We use them as summer blooms, but if we're good at overwintering them, we can end up with little trees like those.

    OK-I couldn't help myself-I called them!!
    This is an Argyranthemum frutescens-and I am DEMANDING it for my birthday-hubby better get his card ready! LOLOL

    Just did a little more research on it, this is considered a sub shrub, so it took several seasons of pruning to get it into that tree form. I think I will pass doing it myself and order it.

    Good luck with your Daisy tree. Don't you just love it when they don't consider growing instructions an important part of the order. :rolleyes:

    Hope we get to see pictures of it next spring when it begins leafing out.

    Its a beautiful tree, I hope it works out for you, keep us posted, since it doesnt come with instructions Id like to know what you are doing because I would like to order one, but if I killed it I couldnt replace it. (very very very tight budget)

    The nice thing about this company is if you kill the plant and keep the box it was mailed to you in (with the label) they will send you another free :eek:)
