Cool. I wonder how high it will get before the sale is over. It will be interesting to watch.

Here is my Ae Ae as of this afternoon. It is really starting to show some white now that its getting it's feet in the ground. I was a bit worried when it was in the container that it would never have much pure white color. This is the newest leaf.:2711:

If you really want know do an ebay completed auction search. It's scary how popular they are, ie, how much they go for. I think I might go buy this other 8 footer that I know of down the road from me for $250 and plant it near my other Ae Ae.

I told my wife last night that had I known about AE AE's before I planted all my Bananas I would have bought every last one I could find and start an Ae Ae ebay business. For about a grand I could covered my yard with them and been rolling in the dough by now. Oh well, live and learn.

Someone bidding told me of this site. I am the one selling the AeAe. They usually sell for around $125. Anyone have questions, let me know.

Right now I have 2 mother plants and about 4 pups. Last year I sold a whole bunch of pups and didn't replenish the mothers. They fruit after about 2 years for me and they have a great taste.

Could you give us some in info on how you care for your plants and where your located. Some people have real troubles growing Ae Ae.I live in Hollywood, Fl which is right by Ft. Lauderdale (I forget what zone I am in). As far as care, they don't get anything special at all believe it or not. I fertilize a few times a year with 8-10-10 or something similar. They are in regular dirt and cypress mulch. They are protected on both sides by houses so they only get sun for about 5 hours a day as anymore than that would kill the white and make it brown. I never water them unless there is no rain for at least a week, besides that they only get rain water as too much doesn't seem to do well. That's all I can think of for now, anything else just ask.

I agree with PAPAK.

I lived about 10 miles West of him and had the same situation. It was planted in the entry way of the house with a 10 ft wall on one side and a 15 ft entryway on the other. Only got direct sun about 3 - 5 hrs a day. It got watered by the sprinkler and fertilized once about every 45 days. It was in Home Depot top soil and organic humus mixed together when I did the area. It was about 4 ft when planted (I had it in a pot for over year, just sitting in the side yard). It took another 1 1/2 years to fruit.

If you remember, last year I moved to West Palm and brought the corm with me. In a large pot it put out over 15 pups of which I sold a lot on e-bay. Hurricane Wilma flooded the pot and it sat in water over a week and rotted. Now I have one 2 ft pup in a pot I'm babying. I had to look at my old e-bay pics because I would have sworn the current pic on e-bay was my old one - close but not the same pic.

I'm patiently waiting on this one to get bigger. They are slow.

I can sell them on here, I generally don't use ebay to sell my corms.
