    Andrew, this is my 1st Sapida inground, I reckon it'll crank.. The 1 from Norfolk Island  ( Baueri) does very well even in full sun , they still , well after a good 5 yrs have a deep green with no burning in full sun. I look fwd to watching this 1 grow,   raining now so planted it on a good day..    Pete
