Get your rocks off (the truck) and place them around the place. Anyone else do this ?

And when we run out of space, we have no choice but to put them on top of each other

Bo- Was that large one in place? I can't imagine you moving one of that size. Very nice pics both of you.

Zac,

The big one was on our property, but not in that location. We moved it with a backhoe. It probably weighs a couple of tons!

Zac,

You already know all my palms!? :P  But yes, you're correct. That's one of two Corypha umbraculifera planted in April 1998 from 1G pots.

I just stepped outside and took another photo, showing both of them. The one on the left has been a faster grower. The one in the previous post is almost completely hidden in this photo (below) behind the rock. We just moved a couple of the Vireyas today. They were in front of the one on the left. We're going to clean out in front of the other one as well, even though soon enough it's going to tower over most of the stuff. Incidentally, this area is right outside our front door. If you check out the photo of our driveway in the rain, that was taken from our front lanai, and there's a cycad to the left in that photo. That cycad is just barely visible in this photo, all the way to the right.
