@Phil David Morris 2011: I'm growing a much smaller one in a pot. Will take some time until it's that big!

@Michael Fresh: I think so. I'm growing a small one in a pot (growing from seeds for almost four years), and it's still tiny.

Look at all that mathy-math, technical growth going on ;) Science is so cool! Oh, yeah, so is your photo.
