Here is a very big avocado plant grown in clinical coding CRH by camera-shy Matthew Ingram.
The avocado seed was brought back from Grenada by a colleague Debbie Douglas and has blossomed ever since.
Everyone loves a plant in the office but this is a spectacular example. So if you've got one let Comms know.
We asked Matthew some light hearted questions:
Tips on how to grow it? A whole lot of love! HAVE to water on bank holidays
What are you going to do with it? Well, it's already massive, if it gets any bigger, I'll have to plonk it outside but then it will die
Have you got any others? I've got another at home which was here first.
Are you green fingered? Yes, the office is full of plants.
