As promised. Here it is. Had lava sand ready upon its arrival. Wonderful specimen. 

Picture heavy, but it's worth it.

All the "Tall" Family:

Two Panama Talls/Pacific talls, one golden Maypan and one Jamaican Tall/Atlantic Tall.

I guess (and hope) this place is gonna look like Jurassic Park in a couple years.

Good luck with the project, Alex, but why growing them in a container?

Wim.

Thanks Wim.

I already have three Malayan Dwarves in the ground since late August. I acquired these talls between November and today. So I plan to set them in the ground mid-February.

If I take prior years as reference, temps in the area hit mid 80's between the first and second week in February.
