Thanks. I like the way it branches when we are told it is not supposed to do. I have one also which grows very slowly. I do admit that I have ignored it for the last years. Jkw

I think,I'm going to go back to a black nursery pot for it. I know my summers are not hot enough..but a black pot should get the roots Namaqualand warm. It never used to matter how fast it grew. I need to now cut down on the years wasting...
