Looks good Mike.
Mine did not appreciate the 100F+ temps this year
but seems to be recovering...my Ventricosum on the
other hand,is out pacing my Abyssinian's growth in it's
first year.

Mine is still very small and was not amused with the heat this year....
Perhaps a shaded spot next year for this lovely Ensete.

Mike,
I am taking every single living thing from that yard with me. Hope I can find a new wind free spot in my new yard .
Of course!
Are you putting everything into big pots first, or is the move not far away?
Wish we could all come over and help you dig new plant holes in the yard...(what am I saying?????
)
Be well, friend...
Barb
PS--we'll look forward to seeing pics of your new yard and where everything is going.
