Some plants in the yard

13 years ago

This "bark" forming on the trunk is exactly the size it was when I got it...about 3-4" tall.
If you look at the sections you can see this C.Peruvianus has grown just about 6' in 6 years.

Well over a foot of growth each of the last 2 years...and all the
arms are from the last 2 years.

Some A.Konjac...one has over a 6'spread.

D.Antarctica

C.Cooperi

A.Parryi

A.Havardiana...about 3' across

Sequoia is approaching 11' getting close to 4' of growth this year!

Hard to pick out the Thai giant-it is about 6' x 11' now...the leaves have gotten smaller because it has not rained in over a month..95-100f temps for some the past 3 weeks have not helped either.

T.Martianus is another great Trachy-going on its 5th leaf since November when it was planted.

Couple of Licuala

Thanks for looking

Looking good Jim, I'll ask a favor though. Do you have a butia? I'll need to protect both a washie and butia this year. Any ideas for the butia, I'll should be able to find your washie posts, but if not I'll hit you up again for that.

That's one heck of a collection Jim. Do you still have Thai black bananas? Do you keep them growing over winter or keep them dormant?

I use the same king of protection on the Butia as the Washy,they
are both connected too a thermocube on 35F/off 45F.

The big Ensete rotted on the basement floor from the spring snow/rain,

I lost the Black Thai bananas to the same issue as the other bananas,I used to bring the Black Thai inside the house but they never did anything.

I have a soft spot for Licualas. Yours on the left looks like grandis, the one on the right looks like what I bought as "wah", but I don't think that's a legitimate name.
