Well Portland is much hotter than Seattle it seems. We have broken 100 degrees that actually scorched the leaves on one of my basjoos, and are floating around 90 degrees daily now. My basjoos actually broke dormancy in Febuary and started to grow for while until they were hacked back by frost! Back to the point though: I will try the higher Potash fertilizer and maybe not water every day. I am pleased with the foliage growth as it is beautiful, but I am not really gaining height yet. I must admit that I want the 15 foot high plants because they look so striking.

I also have noted an incredible amount of pups. Maybe they are taking energy away from growth of the parent?
