I also love this plant, it is very showy, and when u crush the leaves, very very aromatic.. Nice thick branched tree, fairly fast growing. When you go to buy one, make sure the leaves are round and silver, some have not so round leaves and not much silver. Just the way they grow, so be picky when buying this tree! Not really messy, just right!
