Daen, I've got two that are in there first year and are about 2'. There doesn't seem to be many growing this one, every one wants the Maurellii. Actually I almost never hear anyone talk about them. I personally like the all green foliage and can't wait for my red rib to show. Lookin good!-Nate

I bought one yesterday. I just posted pictures. It was in bad need of help.
I repotted it into a larger pot and trimmed it up a bit. Pot it was growing in was so small that the pstem had completely filled it. It looks so healthy now.
I felt really good to bring it home and care for it.
I really have gone bananas in NJ
Good luck with yours!
