Default Re: My Ae Ae is going to bloom

I'll try to get a photo today but you'll be disappointed, LOL. Its in the ground, the trunk is huge in diameter...I will measure it. The plant is 20 ft tall, the pseudostem maybe 16 ft before the leaves start to emerge.

The last 'full length' leaf I had that did not hit the ceiling and break in half was about 8 ft long

The pups were just sitting there doing absolutely nothing at the base of the plant, but as soon as it started to show the signal leaf they started to grow
