Yashimano Posted June 1, 2010 Hi All, My wife bought this specimen for me as a 2 cm button in 1982. It has sat around getting bigger ever since, even though its position has never been ideal here in southern Victoria. This year it flowered but I don't think it set seed. The inside diameter of the pot is about 150 mm. We are moving to the USA so we will need to pass it on to someone who appreciates it. My wife wants to sell it. To be honest we need every penny we can get. Any suggestions how we might achieve this without risking trouble? Cheers, Rob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac Posted June 1, 2010 A private sale either locally or to a state that has no restrictions on said plant or quarantine issues you should have no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharxx101 Posted June 7, 2010 Strange one that is, that old it should be setting seed as they are self fertile plants. Very nice and healthy plant doesnt seem like any bug damage either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
