I'm STILL in love with JR ...

Lovely Terra - you uploaded the one I liked - added to my favourites

Fabulous TT the tassles are like lots of icicles under the snow on my favourites right away :o)

That's so pretty, I need to buy one!

I thought I had pruned off all JRs tassels but I noticed he has some high up ones but still on the small side like the ones in your higher branches. It is a plant to drool over.

A wonderful plant all dressed up in his white Tuxedo;0)

Is nt it gorgeous could use it as an out side Christmas decoration.

Fantastic, we reckon they liked the wet Summer/Autumn....

Wow! That's incredible! Does the cold affect the flowers?

It's looks extremely cold there. We just experienced some of the coldest weather in years here in San Diego. Even though I don't get frost or freezing temps (at my location), my tallest sausage tree experienced cold damage on all the leaves. I had to cut all the leaves off. The smaller trees amazingly enough didn't have any problems. I had three morning lows (in a row) of 38ºF (3.3ºC) and the fourth morning low of 36ºF (2.2ºC)! Daytime temps were only around 59ºF (15ºC).

The last four days have been around 80ºF (27ºC) and the nights have been very mild. A huge change from last week's rare cold weather.

Love your photo Terra it looks so like a christmas dec. all you need are some silver balls on it hehe Lovely.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments.
JR's tassels do look like Christmas decorations ..
... very pretty ..

.. and, yes, JR did benefit from the wet summer. His tassels don't seem to get damaged by the frost or snow ... but sometimes the sparrows nibble at them !

Delonix .. I must check up on your photos for GoYpedia Sausage Trees.... they will be glad that your weather has warmed up !

Winter wonders TT......but roll on Spring and warmer days. JR is very elegant with his tassely tassels

You have always loved JR TT ! mine is looking good as well , the snow is thawing off it today :o)

Thanks Dorjac and Amy ...
Still lots of snow here. I've been clearing paths all morning. Three hours of shovelling and sweeping!

.. and my beloved JR is still weighed down with snow...

Terratoonie:

I'm going to post some pics of the small sausage trees tonight (it will be tomorrow your time).

The 'like' is for JR's tassells :o)))

Hi Delonix ... Thank you ..

Hello Hywel ..

Most impressive tassells JR, I remember last years pic. Do you think they are longer this year? :-)

Hi Bornagain ...

Hi again Janey ...

Hi Junna ... Thank you ..

This is the other photo that I love. I have never seen snow.

Thanks Franny ...
Snow is lovely when new ..
white and clean and crunchy ..
and when you walk on the new white snow,
it makes nice noises ..
... squeaks and creaks under your feet :o)
