Not older, but I've got one pushing 25 years old....and another made from a
cutting from that one, which I sent to college with my daughter about 10
years ago - the girls in her suite named it 'Condom'...typical:-) I got it
back when she went off to CA. Wonder why the few leaves? What kind of
situation do you keep yours in, Bobbi? Might try whacking it back and see
if it resprouts before pitching it...just for old time's sake:-)
