I collect these at up to a good few hundred years old,and my finding is wind kills them like nothing else,you must keep them in a total wind free enviroment,green house or cold frame only.wind and shade netting is not good enough,bottom heat is very helpfull,very regular(10x)per day misting is a must.I collect rootless mountain tree's,and still have a good success rate.You also need shade netting over the greenhouse.
I learnt the hard way,even a draught through a broken pane can spell the end.
