Stephen Ryan has footage of one

The link will probably not work for long as Facebook moves on.

Well as the saying goes "There is no fool like an old fool" one of my two seeds has germinated so just got to deny the kids their inheritance for a decade or so!

Charlie you will be pleased to know for your sales that they root very readily from cuttings. I just cut a few branches of thicker wood (about pencil thickness), cut them into sections, shoved them in and they rooted and sent up new growth within a month or so. I think they may flower younger than mine did it’s just that I let mine ramble everywhere instead of hard pruning it to develop thicker wood and I think they flower on the thicker wood. At least mine did.
