Wow Denise that is pretty old looking. My oldest is 6-7 years old and there isn't any brown woody stuff. Mine is still all green. That is really thick too. Good luck with it. Its great when plants last this long and you have a lot of memories and new starts from them!

Ohhh I love old plants, please don't toss it :( I like to adopt elderly plants.

Wow that's some stump, Denise! I really fret about my kerrii (that I got from you.) I'm obsessed with getting it to grow straight up in a moderately attractive way and am afraid if I turn around for 2 seconds it will grow at a right angle or something crazy. So, I totally sympathize with your desire to start afresh and "retire" the uglier growth.

Wow, is that a quarter, Denise? That old stump is like a tree trunk!

(I am catching up on old posts, sorry about the delay in my replies in a bunch of these threads.)

I was pretty amazed seeing that new growth on such old woody stems, but I got to thinking and remembered that I put some compost on it this spring. Wonder if that did the trick!
