Yeah, I've grown it before and we have one at MOSI. They're not bad once they get tall enough. The one at MOSI is so tall that I can't reach the lower limbs anymore. We couldn't find caterpillars even if we wanted to! Luckily, the Giant STs are nice enough to use our Wild Lime and Rue pretty frequently. Besides, we're used to having giant spikes sticking out of that date palm so I didn't see that there would be much of a difference. And the grass is gone! I'd rip it all out if they would let me!
