My little monster

This Bizzie is turning into a monster. I planted it from a 15 gal. pot in June of 2012 and this is what it looks like today. The crown is about 20 feet at it’s widest and I will estimate it to be 12 to 15 feet in overall height with no visible trunk showing. I recently gave it a good pruning because it was smothering some of the other plantings, and was somewhat of an eye soar.

    Looking good! That thing truly is a monster!

    Mmmm thanks, you have just confirmed my earlier decision not to put ours in the ground here.

    We will have to bonsai it in a pot or guerilla plant it somewhere else when it is bigger.

    Cheers Steve

    It is not dead, it is just senescence.

    She's looking good......and the growth rate is incredible!

    Nice!

     

    hope it lifts off soon so

    you can get some chairs under there

    and retake your yard...marvelous plant!

    Magnificent tree! I hope mine looks like that in a few years.

     

    Also, check out the growth on that strelitzia! It's towering past your roofline now!

    wish mine to be like that soon, can you tell how many new leaves it would have in a year ( averagely ) ?

    Thanks for the compliments folks!!  Planting that White Bird of Paradise under the soffit was a bad choice, at the time of purchase it was in a three gallon pot, and I knew nothing about subtropical plants. On average I get six fronds that open and right now I have three spears coming out.
