Thank you. That tall Firesticks I claim as tallest in Northern California and it is not old :D . That was an unrooted small cutting from my other shrubby Firesticks that i had pruned for encroaching on the sidewalk. The really strange part is i planted a ring of Firesticks around the Brahea and that particular plant was the only one to thrive. Wild.
In the Moonglow photo to the right is a potted Pandanus utilis,the real tropical Pandanus. It and a double Bottle palm(i grew from seed) continue to grow. Maybe my two most tender outdoor plants.
