I don't know what it is, but i cut one down on my property. It grew from seed and within two years, it was about 25 feet tall! I have seen them planted in parking lots here and also growing wild (not sure if native or introduced) in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada (Millerton Lake to be more specific).

ngraham: you can have the NOID, Nancy, and two fans of each of the others too. I'll send you an email soon. lilywoman: after thinking about it a little more, I don't want to do a trade right now - would you pay postage for Land of Cotton? If so, please let me know asap and let me know what state you're in.

Sorry I can't I.D. them but Ican help you get rid of them. Put some beer in a container and they will drown, or pick them up and drop them in salt, that will kill them! Oh, did you get my message about the Sugar Apple and Soursop? They are growing now! All the ones I planted are germinating. Thank you much!

I cannot imagine anyone would care if you kept a snail in a terrarium or such. There are some large ones that can be something of a pest on farms and my local ones, along with slugs, are pest in the garden, but how could that affect you, if you are not breeding them and letting them go. I was much interested in the small ones I saw, locally, that were shaped like a ramshorn snail with cloudy bands of muted colors on the shell. They were around a rental property we had that was sold and now overcome with truly modern construction.
