I gave up having a tree two years ago. The kittens I was fostering and failed at, kept climbing every branch, knocking all the balls off and anything else they could till only the lights were left. With another failed foster in the house, and this one is a real pistol, I know a tree would not survive Jasmine. My husband has a ton of plants that come in every winter........hmm...there 12 in my living room right now and Jasmine has been in everyone of them. We will just put a few red ribbons on these guys and enjoy.
