Erlend, the trunk darkens with age. Check out the 2294 thread!

I see. Sometimes I have seen specimens with light redish brown trunks and sometimes almost jet-black. Another species that's supposed to have a very black trunk is Chini Champa.
I have heard of a theory about the pH of the soil influencing the black colouring. It would be interesting if someone could conduct an experiment on this. This is also the case with AeAe, right?
Anyway, beautiful plant you have there Jarred!
