this one was exciting for us to get our hands on, not only to be a part of a small group of folks from here we knew are growing it, but also because it’s a relatively newly described species (formally described in 2017).
so, we had to have one or two. plants came to us as bare rooted seedlings, though perhaps one of you guys knows if this is a selfing or sib cross, as we don’t know any more about the particular parentage of our plants.
here’s a couple links if anyone cares to read more...

perhaps it will be slow growing since it is closely allied with gigantea?? time will tell, i suppose! we have them bagged, sorta, and in a higher light area next to a heater. trying to baby them thru our winter here. ive shown you mine, now let’s see yours!!
