Mekong Giants in Richmond, VA (7a)
I received my Mekong Giants last week from from Plant Delights Nursery. They look very healthy and were in great shape. I planted them and they are starting to put out their first leaf now. I will take pictures throughout the summer of their growth and post them. I hope they do as well or better than my Basjoo!

They look healthy, I think that they'll really take off for you this summer!

Those Mekong giants look great. I will be getting mine by the end of the week.
Hope they look as good as yours. |

Re: Mekong Giants in Richmond, VA (7a)
Here is mine from PDN. Just got in the ground about 6 weeks ago. Almost 4 feet and growing fast. Was about 18 inches when it arrived.
