Re: Enset ventricosum park Uruapan Mexico 2
Nice shots, dude! Thirty foot Ensetes must truly be impressive! They have a very nice flower too. I saw one blooming this past summer at a local nursery in the Houston area. I would say it was easily 16" across! I asked them if they were going to try to save seeds off of it (if it had any) but they said they weren't sure. This particular specimen was probably about 10-12' tall.
Thanks for sharing your pics and the story of your trip! |

Re: Enset ventricosum park Uruapan Mexico 2
I'm really excited my dad just bought an old spanish building in the town nearby(Patzcuaro). I guess it's a total dump, but I'm still excited to go back there.

Michoacan is a place I really want to get to, as are a ton of other places in Mexico I haven't been to yet.
