Great ! I see on "Moving to Mexico" episodes that are of Baja,you see those great fat tree's fronting new homes. They must transplant well. Of course it their natural climate that's a big help too.

I actually found some nice 5-gal Bursera at a local nursery not long ago. Tempting, but I decided I won't live long enough to watch one come into its own.

Here is another local beauty.

The make great potted fat plants. I would love to have one in a 5 gallon!..but I know they are not inexpensive. Saw them at the SF C&S show a few years ago. One had a red trunk.
