Here's what the tall one looks like now. Has a healthy amt of secondary growth at the base & I got rid of some of the leaves in the middle; they were just solitary leaves, so that the top would get more water/energy. Look how enormous the leaf is on the left topHere is the tallest one but has very little secondary growth yet, except near the base at the 1st couple of nodes. I have a stick in there, holding it up because it is so tall (32"):
I have to go to the garden supply center laterlooking good there dot dude
