I just noticed a flag leaf on my big Saba. Never seen one of those bloom. Could be interesting!

It was maybe six inches when I planted it last Spring (2009). It grew to about 20 feet or so before Winter. We had 15F and 17F and long durations of cold. With no protection the entire psuedostem survived.

It started putting out pups about half way through the first summer. I've planted several and given several away since. Guess it's a "good one".
