Done that, the base diameter is spot on 5" diam (don't they look fatter!), height from base to where the leaves first split out from it is 10", height to tip of the new leaf 42".

This is T princeps in front, I put autumn 04 on the label, I think it was early October, I imagine it was germinated early that year. You can see the base spreading, there is a white root just coming through the bottom. The plants behind are T. wagnerianus I grew from seed, sown Sept 04, germinated in 30 and just over days. It was 31 Dec or 1st Jan 05 when they germinated.

I suppose it is on course for growth, one leaf is split, the new one not but it should throw some proper ones soon.
