That’s really so cool, amazing to see all the wildlife going after the flowers! That stalk looked super heavy as well, I’m looking forward to seeing some of my agaves bloom in the future, they really are magnificent

That really is awesome!! And a giant stalk, I would have used that as a landmark... "turn right past the tall agave stalk and there I am" lol I hope to be able to grow an agave and watch it grow through all these phases shown in your videos.

You had a great Dr Suess tree! My spike is still sprouting but since the gardeners took so many leaves prematurely, I don't think it can sustain the weight of the stalk much longer. (If it's a really full sprout, we like to keep the dried out shootout as a tree to decorate on the patio).

Amazing ! I live in Phoenix and just this year decided to start harvesting the dead and dried or the large 20 foot live ones that have fallen over during the monsoons. You mentioned that yours was dried before Jaun took it down. One thing that people do with the dried stalks is make Didgerido's. Anyone that has one that's 5 ft or larger seek out a local artist. Once dried they can be made into yard art or instruments. Caution. When wet; Exposure to Oxalic Acid can cause headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, convulsions, coma, and even death. Prolonged or repeated contact can cause a skin rash, pain, redness, blisters, and slow healing ulcers. I learned this a few weeks ago. I felt like my arms and legs were on fire! However; the inner part of the stalk is very sweet. Hence the sugars and flavor when roasted and fermented make Agave Tequilla

Wow. I got the skin pain when I trimmed the leaves on mine. I didn't know the stalk was good for art or instruments. That's cool. Next time!

Thanks for such a detailed video of the life cycle, critters and nectar! Can we see an update of the pup growth now, 2 years later?

When I got the plant it was about 2' tall. It took 8 years to get to the max height and then about a month to sprout the stalk to full height.

Omg. Thanks for the video. I planted one of these. It's beautiful but I got to get rid of it. Too much work for me and too scary. 😪 🤣

Wow had no idea this paint did this ! So if you left it would it eventually die ? How old was this plant

@rmu2867

Жыл бұрын

It was about 8 years with me and when I got it small, my guess would be 1-2 years. So overall maybe 10 years.

Thank you for sharing this. I have tried many times to grow agave americana from seed, and I haven't yet had success. At the end you mention pups popping up from seed. Do you think those pups sprouted from seed simply scattered in the yard as opposed to pups that may have been emerging before the mother plant bloomed? Thanks again!

@rmu2867

I think they did pop up after it bloomed and seeded. I got many more after that happened and much further from the "mother" plant.
