Is that 10-12 feet total with leaf ...or 10-12 pstem with a 15 foot leaf for a total of 25 feet in height.
There are a few good previous threads....mekong/basjoo/itinerans/.
These threads have confused and amazed me with info.
But no one has documented a side by side and had taken photos.
I have seen mature mats of both plants......I am baffled.
Upham Giant Basjoos have me baffled even more.....and they are local.
