I don't know how I got this upstairs in "one" piece but it may be the last year it fits!
I started out barely lifting it out without
it dipping(the small pot was sunk in the ground)'
had to wrap a towel and a bungee cord around it.
Went to look for a dolly-no dolly.
had to put one hand under the pot and one on the bungee
cord and tip it back-I put styrofoam in between the arms to keep them banging together-when I got
it upstairs and went to remove the bungee cord
it was broke and fell off!-LUCKY ME AND the CACTUS!(-: anyway,its up here for now.
Probably 7'(second tallest arm is 6') or close to it in its little pot!

The way it grows every year,it would only be inches from the ceiling next winter,if it is going
to stay tall,I may need to find another winter home(-:
Some other stuff,almost all in.

E.Princeps has decided to flush...guess I will be carting
it up and down to the porch to harden off the precious leafage(-:
