Agave atrovirens

(At least we THINK it is atrovirens). Colossal rosette to 5m+ diameter. V.fast grower with dark green leaves and power-pole-like peduncle.

2.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK, easy to grow.

Clean heavy deep green leaves.

A truly massive flowering performance!!

Emerging inflorescence is so large and fat that it's scary.

Closer view. If you look hard you can see a tiny supplementary inflorescence!!

This will soon dwarf the other agave inflorescences around it.

Transpower asked us to cut 2 metres off the top before it disabled Auckland's power supply. Suman did the job with aplomb.

The flowers.

Rosettes formed on the inflorescence, as well as viable seeds.

Closeup of healthy rosettes which grew to 20cm diameter at least.

Plant when younger.
