3 new croziers unfurling.

T.Martianus is not playing either-another leaf opening
and a new spear on deck.

The color of these variegated Aloifolia is magical in the sun.

Might be hard to pic up in this pic but these next 2 Trachys
(Fortunei & Nainital) have grown 1/3rd of their trunk this year...
I know because I burned off all the ligule straps last year and
you can see the new(ligule straps) from this season-well over a
foot on both Trachys.

Nainital

<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea6 ... v.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm22 ... fbsfsv.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSCF0193_zpsewfbsfsv.jpg"/></a>

Fortunei

Hard to tell but the variegated Aloifolia is getting close
to 6' tall-but really stuck out to me is the Rostrada which
has really taken off this year.

4 of the Princeps-I think the next leaf will be 7 for this year.

Sun came out and ruined the shot but the Takil
has some nice color on the leaf backside.

T.Bulgaria really pulled it together this year.

I am out of pics-thx for looking!

[905palms]

Thanks for sharing Jim... Yep, the Takil has a nice back side for sure. The one I have is really silvery as well.

[chadec]

Amazing growth on those trachies Jim. Not sure how your gonna manage them in a few years.

[hardyjim]

Thx 905

Chad

When they are big enough they will have to
support themselves I do have ladders
and what not for painting so we'll see but they
are getting a little size.

Thx
