i pruned the male flower bud off

i put a balbisiana seedling next to the mekong giant to compare growth rate
surprisingly the mekong giant is holding its own
it was growing very slowly in the spring

this mystery seedling is now looking different from the one out front with the splotching on the leaf
it has no pups whereas the one out front has 5

the plants out front

pic i took from the stepladder
