This link https://picasaweb.google.com/1175478208 ... directlink shows what my Madake looks like. I'll try to update with some better pics later on.

I planted 2 small plants about 18 years ago in head high pines trees and they have now spread about 130 feet or more diameter. Some places they are much thicker. This was just today's best pic.

That link didn't work.

Hmmmm, i tested it when posting and it worked. I even tested it in a separate browser after clearing cache. And it works for me today.

I edited that album from "Viewable to Anyone with the Link" to anyone on the web, so maybe that will do the trick. Or maybe not. I still haven't mastered reducing size to embed the pic here.

Maybe that will work

Yes, it works now. At least I can see a photo of somebody (you?) standing next to a pretty huge culm. I'd love to see more photos of the grove!

Thanks for letting me know it works. That's a friend that went with me and i will have to get some more pics or dig up some older ones.

There's some guy in those pictures blocking the view. Ya might ask him to move out of the way next time you take some pictures.

Pics were taken by the ugly guy by holding Canon Sureshot Camera at arm's length.
