I just purchased one about 6 weeks ago. Only three leaves so far. Good to know they are slow so I don't expect too much next year.

It increases my respect for the folks who do the development. With my level of patience, I would have looked at this plant after 4+ years and tossed it thinking it is a pretty darn boring green plant that needs to give up its space to someone else.....

Funny you should ask,Kines! I just planted mine yesterday,so I have no report,but it is in a place where it will get morning sun until noon,so that may be good. I'll let you know more next year. Who knows? In this NC red clay,it may just grow like gangbusters! Phil

Last year I planted a single eye of T-rex and a single eye of Nancy Gill within twelve feet of each other. They both get the same light, fertilizer, and have the same soil.
T-Rex is now two eyes and rather boring to look at.
Nancy Gill is a perky six eyes with a nice shine.

I know what you mean Kines. All year I have been looking at T-Rex and saying. . .not very impressive. My grandson keeps going back and looking at T-Rex every time he visits... just wanting him to live up to his name. I can see the disappointment in his eyes every time. . lol
I have a feeling that maybe T-Rex has the ugly duckling syndrome.
Think I will take Ken's advise and buy more plants and ignore T-Rex until the swan stage is reached. Thanks Ken, I needed another excuse. . . lol
