Hey Carl,
When you say coarse what do you mean? Overly thick or just angular?
What have you found with leaf size so far? It doesn't sound like the trees in the wild get very large but it looks like the leaves could get pretty big.
The ones I found tonight range from 20-40 bucks canadian... thats about 5-15bucks US isnt it
The trunks are 1-1.5inches at the base, nebari still buried, about 6-8feet tall but still new growth at the base. I'm going to take another look tomorrow and may give them a go as guinea pigs. This one looks like it's begging to be chopped...
