I'm in love

This little guy arrived well-packaged and healthy on the 19th of November, and he's already--December 8--not so very little: "fast growth rate" didn't quite prepare me for how fast! By about day 3, he had lassoed a nearby Operculicarya decaryi, so until the spring replanting can occur with a decent trellis, I've given him bamboo stakes to keep him occupied. He's lassoed them all, and I'm fairly certain one stem grew about half an inch today, so I've clearly underestimated the number and size of stakes I need! Be prepared! :D This guy is great!
