Check out the A/Konjac next to this car for scale.
I think the foliage must be over 5' across by now.

As this Sequoia is now towering over me,I can't help but think it really is on its own now.

Nice pics, that B Eriospatha is nice. Never noticed before how large your trachys were getting. Awesome job!

Very nice! Another great Summer for you.
I love Butia. Maybe I'll look for a B. eriospatha.

Jim,
That lovely Sequoia adds a lot of beauty to your tree-lined street.
Gorgeous Butias.
I find even the green butias when young have a bluish tinge.
Gorgeous!
Barb

10' 2" holy smokes
As it gets wider, you may have to prune off the bottom branches so cars can still go down the street. 😉
Nice to be back.
Can't believe I survived the 2-month heat wave
