Thought I would show this little Madagascan gem, title above.
There is a massive version of the tree in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens (near the toilet block if I am correct)
Progress shows from 2007 til now, for the last 4 years I have not been able to remove it from the pot without damaging tree or pot so for now there it stays, - it seems happy. When it doesn't I guess I will have to smash a pot to get it out it is that stuck.
anyhooo... hope you enjoy this little one.
