Hi Bigdog,

Do these two picies help? I will photograph the main "trunk" when I get a chance - am at work at the moment.

I can well believe it grows 38ft tall, but would need 38ft staking as it is normally supported by growing in a forest of vegetation that is also 38ft tall! Next year I will thread mine through the plum tree so it can grow to 20ft tall before emerging through the top of the tree and getting shredded by wind. I have nothing to protect them to 38ft though. Hopefully it will only go 20ft in a pot - which is my current plan.
