I believe it is *VERY* slow-growing though, and goes on for millennia if
you can cope with all the watering, feeding and repotting for that
time...

Yes. But it is a very BORING one until it gets to middle age, and
its trunk starts to spread. Its main interest as a curiosity is
the massive girth of its trunk.

Do you think there might be a market for inflatable rubber ones? I mean,
the little woman wouldn't mind one of *THOSE*.
