Default Re: Any idea what this giant nanner is

Bear in mind, Cathy, that those were growing outdoors in Ecuador!

SteelViper - there were even taller ones inside the garden, where they got a bit more sunlight. I'd say the tallest one they have is about 50' - it matches an old Black Acacia, and dwarfs a number of the garden's younger walnuts.
