Weazelloph Posted May 1, 2013 So I dont really know how to say this but I managed to get my hands on a 5m tall Carnegia gigantea... what should I do with it, I was told it belongs in a museum and is worth a lot of money others have told me to contact collectors corner.. any help?

niggles Posted May 1, 2013 So when you say you got your hands on it ... is it proudly planted in your backyard? On a truck somewhere? Still on the property somehwere waiting to be picked up? If it were planted in my backyard, I think I would leave it there as the prize of my collection, and maybe when a bit falls off I would offer that for sale. If I had ownership rights, but it was somewhere needing to be dug up and transported, I think I would look to be selling it to someone and getting them to move it themselves, that can be one hell of a dangerous job from what I have heard/read. Better left to braver people than I. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mushroomman Posted May 1, 2013 I'm guessing its the one off eBay I think they do grow from cuttings but they will take years to root. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
