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?

    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.
