Thank you. I should have known, I have a lot of the kind with many thorns and the stem gets hard like cable, I had never seen it so big around before, but it's still the same basic growth habit. And, thanks for introducing me to Green Deane. Excellent video and website. This post was edited by garden2garden on Sat, Apr 12, 14 at 23:28

Here are a couple of cycads in a greenhouse I haven't shown yet. The The first one is an Encephalartos gratus from Mozambique in a 45 gallon container that has about 30 inches of trunk. The last plant is an E. ferox, tubular form female in a 90 gallon container. If anyone ever does buy this plant, I'm not sure how I will move it. But I will figure that out if the time comes. I'd probably have to rent a bobcat with forks on it. The picture really doesn't show that is is 10 feet across.This second picture just shows all kinds of different cycads. Looks like a cycad jungle.

A sign of the times: autocorrect fought to change it to Gaga. I had to use brute force to prevail.

Do you spray antifungals, and how does Mary Rose do for you as the year progresses?
