Re: "The Crown of Thorns is a spiny, spreading shrub which can grow to a couple of metres in height."

I just measured ours. From the top of the pot to its uppermost leaf is 27 inches. It's not doing that well right now since I left it outside in sub-40° temps. It didn't much like that. It's a remarkably easy plant to grow, though, and it's making a strong comeback. I expect it will be four or five inches taller by this time next year.

Re: "Are you sure you want this beast in your house De?"

Yep. It normally has flowers on it year round, and it's only toxic if you cut it and get some of the goop it oozes on your skin. If THAT happens, you'd best get it off quick. As I said, it's much worse than poison oak.
