Finally planted my Arenga pinnata

[JungleGina]

This poor Arenga pinnata has been sitting in my yard for many years now. The place I had planned for it was in a still untamed portion at the very back of the yard in the lowest area. So it sat waiting for its spot. Every time I visit Selby Gardens I admire their Arenga pinnata that sits right next to the back gate. It gets more enormous and awesome every year and I say, I need to get that Arenga in the ground one of these days. We finally got the spot cleared and somewhat filled in enough to finally get her in the ground.

Here is my newly planted one:

Here's the one at Selby in May 2012:
