    Some of my giants are still very young, so I will share them in 1-2 years when they look more substantial (I hope!).

    utog I am looking forward to Earth Angel getting established.

    Ken that maturity is what we all wait for. Exceptional specimens. Imagine how p o'd you would have been if you had taken part in the whole alphabet!! Pity you did not!

    Hoping to get T Rex and Titanic planted this year.

    Blue Angel is over 8 1/2' across last I measured.

    Earth Angel planted in fall.

    Because my city yard is not huge, I don’t have many giants. Here’s what I do have:







    Not totally giant sized yet, but it’s getting there.

    That Final Summation is gorgeous!

    Windymess, how much shade is your final summation in, or does it mostly take sun?

  • 5 years ago

    I think I love them all!!!

    oursteelers, debra- thanks, my FS is in almost all sun, but gets a lot of water. I love its subtle coloring and thick leaves. I don’t have S&S, but have it’s other baby- Winter Snow- which does burn and get ratty with too much sun. FS seems to tolerate the sun better, but again- plenty of water.

    Wow what great giants I am waiting for a couple of mine to get bigger, but here's mine that are large now.


    Blue Angel


    Blue Mammoth - my other one was smaller last summer. Dug it up and removed arborvitae roots from the ball and replanted it.


    Liberty


    Sum and Substance
