Mike...are you sitting down?
It's approx. 36 or 37 years old. Maybe even 38, can't remember.
In successive big pots until being planted a few years ago.
It's a male, so unless it does what John's did (rare event of male and female flowers on his last year), no seeds are expected.

Very nice Barb, I think trachys are so beautiful in flower. You may get a new avatar photo from it.

Thanks folks.
how old it has to be to make flowers?
Mine started inflorescing (spellling?) the next year after it was put in the ground.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
