I've bought a new one to replace it called Fragrant Cloud. The stem cuttings I took in September, (clandestinely from the neighbours' garden) are showing signs of life.

Other creatures like bears and sloths and koalas also have difficulty getting down trees and have to inch themselves arse backwards. A cat would turn its nose up at such indignity!
