I bought a tiny rooted cutting in Tenerife 2003. It is now 4 feet high or so in a big pot in the conservatory. It is slow growing and long lived, some of the ones in Tenerife being some 500 yrs old. I let it dry out between watering and spray regularly around the stem/leaves. Called the Dragon tree as when it is cut it weeps bright red sap like blood. If global warming persists it will go in the garden!
