It's about a metre tall and I had it on a small table. Turned it off and put it away as soon as she went home . She has two. The small one is about 2 metres tall. The big one is about 4 metres tall. (high ceilings) A friend of hers at a thrift shop alerted her when it came in so she bought it for $20. Now she wants me to buy a big one.
Had a good look on Ebay. The ones I like are from $200. Seems a lot to pay for something I will only use for one day every two years. I think I'll wait for the after Xmas sales.
Oh, I just spent over an hour wandering around the nearest big regional shopping centre looking for one of these large fucking trees. Bloody waste of time.
Don't play by the rules.

As it turns out, I have some cacti in my back yard. A couple are about 10 metres high. Sadly, no arms. Not sure epoxy resin will do the trick. Think I'll stick with my one metre tall LED tree. I'll leave it on its small table, but perhaps stick a coupe of bricks underneath.

Are they San Pedro?

I have no idea. They grow straight and tall. They are shallow rooted. Every time there's storm, the taller ones sway. After a storm a week or so ago, one is now growing at a 45 degree angle. Eventually they will fall over. Last time I cut them into many pieces. Gave some away, also just let a lot grow. They give my back yard a rather dry look. Thank goodness for the date palms and roses.

We've all been hearing about the new car delays due to whatever. So I went down the road where all the dealers are to inquire.
Toyota said 9 months for a rav4. Mitsubishi quoted me 4-6 months for the new Outlander.
Lastly I went to Hyundai to check out the new Tucson. Nothing to checkout! Nothing in the showroom.
Again quoted 6 months. As we were leaving, he raced out to catch us to tell us a truck has just arrived with 4 Tucsons ordered months ago. One customer rang to tell the dealer that he had had a heart attack and his doctor advised him to not drive anymore. So the dealer basically said, it's your lucky day, you got one hour to decide!
Yikes!
Pro tip: Don't go to the pub to think things over rationally!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Yikes. What are you finding?
Plenty available. Haven't made a decision yet, but it's looking like a Volkswagen of some sort.

They have it in chewable pills, more tolerable.
