very impressive plant apchm. I've heard of them getting to 3m here, but obviously that is all in one season. :)
Best regards

I have a black one and it is just comming out of transplant shock. I had a tuckermanii that was very similar to the musafolia but after seeing that I think I will try the musafolia green next year. very impressive

We had a wet summer last year, but this year's are growing well too ... don't think they are going to make 2M though.

Yes, it was flowering from January to May. All stems in the picture are from this year I cut all old stems to have more space.

My sentiments exactly, Kris......to which I should add "Wish, I wish!"

I wonder what height it would need to be to carry flowers, Albert.
