I have 3 cuttings available--but the "Maya" was too young last fall when
I took the cuttings and they have been struggling.
The original cutting dried up--and the new shoot came from the base.

The two Mayas I have are really small--but alive.
The Dr. Seuss cutting is doing OK. Not spectacular (like donner's), but OK.
I still cannot believe it was that big from just a cutting the year before.
You have the knoack of all knacks!

Donner--can you share what the Maya cutting looks like that I gave you?
How is it doing? The other two are shown below. As id the Dr. Seuss.

Here is what the Maya looks like. As you can see--the orig. cutting is all dry
and shriveled up. You will have to nurse them along this summer.
Baby them...feed them...and be endlessly patient.

Chantelle--I will give you the Dr. S.--and Holly--maybe you can nurse the 2 Mayas
to grow a bit better....Maybe it needs fertilizing? I have not done it at all--just water.

Pretty sad--but this may be my fault that I took the cuttings a bit late.
