Mine is young, and seems to have a very strong prey drive. Already she seems a bit lazier though. :)
It's really a shrub. My variety of it can get to at least 20 ft and perhaps almost as wide. Mine used to reach the gutters of the house. Frost and unwise pruning greatly reduced it, but it's a tropical plant that grows fast. The regrowth is a probably at 6-7 ft now. It's clearly an old plant The crown is probably 2.5 feet in diameter and has the stumps of many thick trunks that have been cut in the past.
