Martha:
Kirt, you should be getting a cassia commission, if you're not already!
 You're certainly whetting my interest, especially with regards to
fasting.

I wonder how they would do in San Diego?  Does Greentree (?)
Nursery sell them (that big place off the road between Penasquitos &
Del Mar (is it Carmel Valley Rd?))
But I suppose, if they're a tropical tree, they would probably need too
much water to be susainable there....   :-(
