HAHA....Hetty.".yes I loose parts of it all the time....but it's remarkably strong... I've done something to it before it does start dropping chunks of it...
I don't know how old it is... Maybe 5 or six year s old..always in that 16" clay window box type pot... Everything in there is root... The soil left a few years ago... Well maybe a little soil... But it stays rock hard...even when it is wet... It's a tough life here... But I do supply plenty of food and exotic additives and full sun... And lots of watering... So they put up with the cramped living conditions...being dropped...and sun burned every spring... No matter how slow I ease it out...
