It could very well be, thanks. I wondered about it's precise identity before myself. I got it at Lowes 5 years ago and it was tiny, I thought the label said Benjamina but it could very well be Elastica, I've seen Elastica there since, but never Benjamina, that always did baffle me. Here it is back in the day, it has grown ALOT, I've even pruned the heck out of about half of it! I soon realized I pruned too much off of it, and I've been waiting about 2 years for it to catch back up.

pirl,
I have ordered from AD for two years now - I dont get the "donation trees", I order specific trees - and those have always come labeled to the best of my recollection. They always send free things (redbud, red maple & forsythia) that arent labeled, but the ones I buy are.
Mine will be shipping in May. Im excited! Was pleased with my first order last year. The free pines they sent didnt make it - but the did send me replacements.
Mockorange, Sweet Standard, Winterberry Holly, Almond, Dwarf Russian, Azaleas Mollis Hybrid, White, Maple, Japanese Red Standard, Azaleas Mollis Hybrid, Orange, Azalea Formosa, Magnolia, Saucer, Magnolia, Ann,
FREE Red Maple,FREE Forsythia (set of 2),FREE Redbud

Thanks for the great input, minnesippi! Now I'll have to go look at all they offer.
