I just realized how long ago this was originally posted, but thought I would answer anyway in case someone looks at it in the future. I have bought several of these little olive trees from Hirts, and have never been disappointed, even in the middle of Winter. If they are kept indoors, there shouldn't be any problem with keeping them alive. They are sturdy, pest and disease-resistant trees and do very well indoors. For outdoors, I would recommend a stronger variety like "mission" olive trees, since they can withstand temperatures down to 20 degrees.

I never followed thru with purchasing this lime tree. Still on my wish list. Thanks, Dave from DeLand, Fl

Don't Know. It was given as a gift and is not physically located at this location.

I think it would be difficult, there are a lot of buildings which have specific and sometimes tricky functions. She would have to play it with someone who speaks English a couple times. There may be a translation available online.

I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself. It is presently stored with the Christmas decorations. I researched this purchase before making the commitment because I also wanted a train or streetcar type unit that would fit into the Dickens Christmas Village character. I set up this streetcar, associated track and it's streetcar maintenance unit and it appears to be an excellent match in scale and speed of operation. The streetcar will move from the storage unit to the opposite end of the track and automatically return. The speed of the streetcar is also adjustable and I would recommend this set for anyone having a Dickens Christmas village scene. I do not have ready access to the streetcar unit itself.

I plan to give my daughter hers the day after thanksgiving. And the elf will do somethin different everyday. Remember children are not to touch the elf, for the elf would lose its magic! If your daughter still believes in Santa I would definitely get it for her and keep the magic of Christmas alive! :)

Yes, there is a Christmas tree, a snowflake and one that works as a wreath.

I don't know. I wouldn't take one of those con jobs as a gift. If you want to carbonize cheaply and safely check out My Pop Soda.

Brenda, They can be imported from anywhere in the tropics, but they are most likely from Africa. I think one of the three packages I received said South Africa. Please note my reason for trying to grow them in Houston, Texas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moringa_oleifera. Also, although I have not made any recent entries in the Sear Diary, I do talk about the tree and several others that are in my study, see" http://www.chtank.us/sear_diary.html The criteria I am following is the plants should be decorative, nutritious, and of medicinal value.

Yes, in my opinion it is. The picture is absolutely beautiful without the "glowing" effect. It glowed the very first night I hung it even though I have a Northern exposure in my bedroom. It's sort of like looking out a window late at night on a foggy evening. You see a black silhouette of this majestic tree. Also, you have to take into consideration that it originates from Romania and travels through Customs in NYC and all Shipping Fees, Taxes, etc. are included in the price.

I don't know but it is highly likely. I purchased it as a gift and the person seems to like it.

sun is always best but our olive tree has done well with indoor light -- try to take it outside on occasion for fresh air & sunlight -- be consistant with watering schedule
