The message
from "Bob Hobden" contains these words:

But that's the same with any tree we grow as a house plant, see the
Monstera
delicosa in Jamaica for the first time and your mouth opens, same with the
"Rubber Plant" trees (F. elastica var decora) in India, the Baobabs in The
Gambia, Cycads in Oz, ..... it's that we might know how big they get but
don't understand untill faced with the reality.

There was a rubber tree in an office building in Norwich - it was
planted in the stairwell and was three storeys high.

I found my rubber tree on a bonfire heap (unlit) and it survived the
ordeal without even dropping leaves. It's being trained down again as
it's reached my living room ceiling.
