Re: Zone 10

A check with Mr. Google turned up several growers here in Florida including a houseplant grower, which likely means they come in smaller sizes and cost more ;>) The ones we use at work [Florida "fancy" grade] are 3 gallon, 24" to 30" tall and retail for about $15.00. We also use a lot of them in 7 gallon, but the price goes way up when they get that big.

Kitty, check out C. terminalis "Auntie Lou." Leaves are at least 3"
wide, sometimes 4"

SS says "...the grassy, upright blades are less than an inch wide..."
I don't want "grassy"
C. baueri, on my young plant, the leaves are an inch wide.  I don't
know if
they'll get any wider.  They are definitely not "grassy", mor
yucca-like.  I
did find a picture that looks much like my plant.  Take a look at it

tell me if Red Sensation is as formidable.  If so, I suppose I'd
consider
it.

Neither do I, Kitty, but I can't possibly save everything due to
space.
    Why do you prefer C. baueri?
