It was just a small plant in 2006. I thought for sure it was stunted forever as it had been kept in a clay pot for who knows how long. Its best growth has been by the year- especially the last two. I have pruned it twice..the long whippy branches were going to where I did not want them too- to the street. Do not be afraid to prune these plants.
Looking good Stan! My only pot-grown plant rotted over the winter, and I did not notice. Only last week when I realized that it was not growing any new leaves that I inspected it, and found out. I am now starting to root the main stem. It should be OK. Jkw
After years of incremental growth caused by who knows how long in a 6" clay pot this plant now has been in the ground for years now (did not keep a record on this) and its look as you can see- with pruning help- has gotten more mature looking.
Looking good Stan. I still get a kick out of seeing some fantastic specimens. My only plant did not survive the winter two years ago, and I have decided to give the species a rest. Jkw
Get the other one Winston. O.pachypus ( love that name!)That's the one with the much fatter trunk,same tiny foliage. No waiting decades for the fat plant look with that one.
