NO! Not unless you knock off some other members and move to the west coast!

I've got five others ahead of you on my informal list (nothing formal until I actually see I'll have any pups even for myself).

I am not formally committing to anyone at this point as I fear it would spell certain death to my Ae Ae!!!

Take your time Harvey. It'll make for bigger/stronger pups when the time does come to share.

Patty, I saw you behind that skid steer and you're a rough looking gal. I couldn't dare do that to my other friends!

My latest leaf tore just a little today. It was pretty windy (west winds of 20mph or so) but the Ae Ae is well-protected in this location. I think the white portions will eventually get burnt and tear there anyways. My priority at this point is getting as much photosynthesis as possible to grow strong pups and for a possible flower, so I'm willing to put up with the sunburn on this large plant. I think the smaller plant is going to get planted where it gets a little more shade (full sun for just a couple of hours).

How is you AE AE Doing Harvey? Since every is salivating for your AE AE.

harveyc · 07-24-2009, 04:19 PM

It's doing pretty well, though the pups have barely grown since the plant was moved in early April. The plant puts out a new leaf every 7-10 days.

conejov · 07-24-2009, 04:33 PM

Thats great! are the leaves still getting torn by the wind?

harveyc · 07-24-2009, 04:46 PM

Mostly, but we haven't had strong winds for the past couple of weeks so the last full leaf to emerge is in pretty good shape (helps that it is toward the house). I sure wish the thing would flower! :P

An Ae AE is the one that the fruits Variagated right? Have you ever tasted them?

harveyc · 07-24-2009, 05:40 PM

Yes,the fruits are also variegated though it's not very apparent after they turn yellow. I've had dried Ae Ae only, so far, from a friend in Puerto Rico.
