Re: French Red Is Flowering!
The way that AEAE is stacking I bet it flowers this month or next! Amazing job! It's insane the difference between my 7' AEAE and your 10' monster!

Re: French Red Is Flowering!
That's so gnarly, Hector!
How close to you have them planted from each other?

Actually, I plant my 'Nanas same space as you, between each other, 6 to 8 ft apart!.....Yes, you might try it!...But I think, it depends on the 'Nana varieties that you are planting!..... For the big, monster growers as the Beautiful, Royal, Majestic 'Ae Ae' and French Red, I would give them at least 6 ft apart!....

Wow Hector! Your plants, your success is amazing. Whatever you are doing, pixie dust, Midas Touch, or Hector's magic. It's not only working, it's working very well.
