I really want one. Does anyone know where I can get one right now? Preferably in the DFW area.
Texas Mountain Laurel
Try Redenta's in Arlington or Dallas.
I saw them last year at Weston Gardens. You could call to be sure they have them.
Try North Haven Garden www.nhg.com
Covington's in Rowlett might be closer. Give them a call at 972-475-5888. Or Rhonde's in Garland (my favorite organic nursery) at (972) 864-1934.

Ok, mine is only about 6" tall (since emerging after winter).
Is this normal?
I'm not sure how to prune (or even if I should) ~ This should be a TREE, right?
You don't need to prune at this stage, it is very slow growing and it needs the leaves for energy.
It is a tree but its natural shape is more like a shrub, although it can be pruned later to tree shape.
yea, I had two dead looking 'stalks' about 6 inches tall; had just about given up and thought about tossing but potted them instead to wait and see -- lo-and-behold one stalk has sprung several new leaves!!!!
There are lots of plants sales coming up. They usually have a few.
Yucca Do also has them right now.
