Any history on the plant?

No doubt its a male , and a division from the only one left !!

[JEFF from Trabuco Canyon CA]

Is it rooted, how long has it been rooted, and do you know the father plant?

Jeff,

This plant came from Lauren in the spring time and has been sitting in pumice doing its deal. i have not checked for roots in a long time the last time i looked it had several nubs pushing out from the bottom and figured to let it do its deal to produce roots. At this time Lauren had 3 offsets, two of which he sold to one guy that wanted all 3 but i was lucky enough to get one. He said that it would be a long time before he takes anymore off because the 2 on the plant are only a inch. I do not really want to sell or trade the plant unless it is something i can not refuse. The plant has not yet flushed but wouldn't be surprised if it did this spring when it warms up.

Aussie,

It is indeed a male. I know one of these sold in auction in africa this summer for 500 thousand usd it had about 5 ft of trunk. id guess about 30+ years of growth, but talk about a retirement check!

After the initial sale fell thru the plant was sold for $126000 and it had 7+ feet of clear trunk.

Still a lot of money ......
