Thanks, Brent!!! Not sure how the americana will do this winter, but planning on trying some sort of protection, just not sure what yet. It is hard to tell by the pic, but it is about 3' tall and a good 4' wide. Did you see the pup that ran out about 2' from the parent plant? I have never seen one do that, but then again, I haven't been around a lot of agaves. Most ones I have seen pup close to the parent.
As far as the article you wrote, I would love to read it if possible.
Just got an aloe polyphylla in the mail last week and have an agave ovatifolia coming from Texas later this week. I have a few small hardy agaves potted up, but hope to add to my collection as I can find them...
