knightfisher Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 The original is 17ish and the other is in it's 4 year. This is one months growth....amazing plant for sure Largest leaf so far measures 24X23 inches.... There is something uniquely different about one of them this year....

smerchly Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 I drove past that J & B tree about 20 minutes ago , on my way to get my drugs . It certainly is an eye catcher as it grows faster than weed(s) . Does April contribute to the rapid growth of the tree ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted June 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Some of the young ones with their parents inquiring about the plant have been told of the tale of Jack and the Bean stock. There are about 20 of those nasty(nasturtium flowers) which will produce a nice flowering carpet soon. Have many seeds from last year if you would like some. They sprout fast. Luckily April & Angel have chosen other areas to curb weed growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Coming along nicely June 26-July 14 Crazy plant for sure, probably only one on the planet 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightfisher Posted August 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 The main plant has grown over 12' so far and the pup has grown over 14' to surpass the original. Fun to watch the expressons on some of the passerbys and questions from a few of the inquisitive ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those tall 10' invasive grass plants grow very quickly also . I use the dried stock for my young tomato plants ....looks like bamboo ! I also have (had) many milk weed plants in my gardens reaching 7 ' with 15 pods on one plant . They were drawing dozens of flies and ants ...and wasps , so I cut most of them down and put them at the back of the yard to dry out . Everything seems to be growing faster this year because of the heat .....need to water plants everyday ! I have never seen flies like this on the milk weed leaves ....tried to tie a few up but the legs break off .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I read that today Chris, of course the bamboo is not supporting massive leaves like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the heat goes, some of my vegetables love it and are doing well, and others need extra water for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to collect fall leaves and hot wax them between wax paper and put them into large scrap books . Our red and green cannis plants have huge rubbery leaves that collect water like a funnel to feed their roots . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
