It is certainly a magnificent tree, but take warning -- don't feel sorry for your old rubber tree and put it out in the garden!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26498016.post-23093006131337283972006-12-05T00:33:00.000+11:002006-12-05T00:33:00.000+11:00i like that old tree indeed!!!
