I think it was small looking at the crack. It was at UC Berkeley Botanical Garden. I bet much bigger now 3 years later.

has it lost its large spots? Never seen one with large spots like that. Should be enormous by now if it's excelsa.

I do not understand what you are saying. It lost its large spots but it shouldn't have large spots?

I am away right now so no access to my photos. I assume it had a tag on it. I see I have another one pictured also from another date though same botanical garden. Do you feel that one is inccorectly IDed also?

not sure... never seen one with large spots is all... finely speckled or no spots. Maybe as a young plant is has large spots.
