You've got a forest! How do you fertilize your trees? Some of them have a really dark green foliage

Bob, there are so many cool variegated agave out there. I would love to find some true variegated Truncata's and others, but I'm not willing to spend hundreds of dollars to put something in the ground. Anything could happen that could kill it & now we have armadillo's all over the place that like to dig stuff up... Fortunately I haven't seen any in my yard YET! Shocked



Quote:
In 1995, armadillos were only seen in the southern tip of South Carolina, and within two to three years, they had swept across most of the state.

It would be unlikely, but that's what it looks like in the shot. Probably the rootstock... Question

You're looking at the top of the rootstock. The bud is wrapped below if you look. Once the bud takes, then I break the rootstock a couple inches above the bud & bend it over until the bud starts to grow. Then remove the top of the rootstock.
