Hey! The Shaina was there awhile ago! Who stole it?????

Dave did say that they were doing some work on the system and it has been flaky today but the Shaina that was there before was worth seeing it. Maybe you'd post it again Gary?

The Koto No Ito in my yard is about 5 and a half feet tall now and about 4 feet wide. It's supposed to be upright and narrow but it's not feeling like doing that. If you notice, some of the leaves are more solid than others. A strange thing about Koto no Ito is that the leaves change into the more finely cut shape as the branches get older. Nature is amazing, isn't it?

My understanding is that Koto no Ito is supposed to get about 10 feet tall in 10 years. I don't know of any that want to stay as small as 2X2 Maybe someone else does?
