This "bark" forming on the trunk is exactly the size it was when I got it...about 3-4" tall.
If you look at the sections you can see this C.Peruvianus has grown just about 6' in 6 years.

Well over a foot of growth each of the last 2 years...and all the
arms are from the last 2 years.

Hard to pick out the Thai giant-it is about 6' x 11' now...the leaves have gotten smaller because it has not rained in over a month..95-100f temps for some the past 3 weeks have not helped either.
