Do you know anything about a Dahlia Tree?

It is about 8foot,the trunk is the thickness and appearance of bamboo and at the top the flowers are identical to a dahlia the one I saw was a lilac colour.

Do you know anything about a Dahlia Tree?
I don't have any personal knowledge of the Dahlia tree, having never grown one, but there are some great websites listed below that may help you out:

"Best climate: Tree dahlias will flourish in most areas (including sub-tropical and cold regions) but flowering can be ruined by frosts.


"Care: Tree dahlias need a sunny spot, sheltered from wind and frost. They are generally pruned after flowering (in winter), when the spent canes are cut back close to ground level. They can also be pruned in early summer if a smaller and more compact plant is wanted. In December, prune the soft new growth by about one third to a half. Shoots will be 20-30cm (8-12") and should be shortened to 10cm (4"). Tree dahlias are simple to propagate. In winter select a piece of stem with one, or preferably two, nodes. Plant it horizontally, about 20cm (8") deep, and stand back."
