I got it from pendulousplants.com


It's supposed to be hardy to 6b but there's supposedly one here in Chicago at the Botanic Gardens. It gets huge. Check out plantscout here and see some of the mature ones.

Yeeughk! Looks like it's covered in green maggots. Methinks the wild type is much nicer!

Quoting:
It gets huge


One in Britain is 29m tall.

Looks like it got half a dose of Roundup. Better give it the rest of the dose and finish it off. I hate to see a plant suffer.

Isn't that the original plant from the Rocky Horror Picture Show that said:

FEED ME !!

I will stick with my Thuja occidentalis 'Spiralis', thank you. That's just a little too creepy for me.

I think it's deliciously alternative. I also like the fasciated form - little fans at the end of the branches.

Wrong musical. The 'Feed Me' Plant was in "The Little Shop of Horrors."
In Rocky Horror Picture show, The Main charactor was "making a man with long hair and a tan". A different sort of appetite, especially for Meatloaf...

I really like your specimen. Oh that sounds just like something Frankenfurger would say. he, he, he...

I know that. How could I be so stupid. Well that's another dumb question!
