Tortoise and the Hare

[Brian M]

After doing some spring cleaning I noticed how much faster one of my livistona decora was growing than the other. Transplanted them at the same time and one is SLOW but pushing new spears and one grows faster than the weeds! Both get equal attention and same exposure. So interesting how variable they are with one growing maybe a foot and the other having grown probably 3+ feet. 

First picture is from today. Second is from when they were planted last April 2022. Third is at the nursery.

I have observed the same thing with multiple species. Some grow very robust and others dribble along.

one of the challenges to gardening symmetry. Rarely do two trees grow like identical twins.

Yep, same here . Sorta like us , some grow tall and others not so much. Harry
