I might be able to offer a few specimens for a much better price!

My planted one is in growth. One leave formed already with two more opening up, my potted one however is much slower only its first leave forming.

My tiddler i had late last year sailed thru the winter in my unheated greenhouse keeping the 2 leaves it had.

It has now pushed out 3 more leaves and looks very healthy.

I have another one in the post too, 3 foot tall.
Both are going into large 35ltr tubs, not risking them in the ground

OK, thanks. I thought they look so bushy, when in full leaf in Summer, that they must be be branched. At least I know what to expect now!

Hells bells, thats massive but mighty impressive.

It ends up looking like a tree, quite pleasing in my opinion

Wow! I think I'll plant it a bit further away from the path than I had planned!

Very helpful to see how it developed over a few years. What did you do with it after you dug it up?

WOAH! Ok I knew they got big...but that is BIG!!

My larger one is only about 3 foot from a narrow path, might need to reposition it...

Should have said this isn't my garden so no idea what happened to the t rex or why he dug it up.

The path?

Good plan!

I have a few cuttings on the go in the greenhouse and just showing signs of sprouting which I will try and sell on Ebay once established but I can't believe somebody is asking £9.99 for a piece of root that's not even been potted up!!
