I've wanted to get some Robusta for a long time but I've resisted temptation after hearing all the horror stories about how hard they are to grow. This Borneo Giant seems to be the next best thing.

Some key points from the description on the website...

- Robusta is a bit pickier to grow usually needing more heat and growing much slower.

- Borneo Giant grows very quickly usually 2 to 6 feet the first year from plants the size I am selling here. The following year it could be a monster and may be anywhere from 8 to 15 or more tall once mature.

- Over all Borneo Giant is a very fast strong and tough plant. I have grown it in full shade and full sun.

- This is one tropical plant I would recommend for northern growers. It is not difficult to remove the leaves and store and the size makes it unbelievable in a northern garden.
