Tetrapanax rex :D I really want one of these, but my budget won't allow me to buy the size I want, I don't suppose you know how fast a small plant would grow in a season?

Hi Sharon,

I bought a tiny plant in June 2010. You can see how mine grew:

Right after I planted it out (29 June 2010):

Thanks for the links. Wow, definitely a fast growth rate and im guessing its a heavy feeder/water. We bought a gunnera last year, at this rate I'll have no garden left lol
