That came through! Gunneras are huge when full-grown, it will tower
over him eventually.

It is already taller than him but the angle doesn't show it. The
Gunnera has been in the ground 3 years. It gets more leaves each
year.

I was curious and had to look it up. Interesting stuff here.

About 4 or 5 years ago someone from British Columbia posted a picture of
his Gunnera here and I was hooked. It dies back to the ground in the
winter here and then I mulch it with about a foot of sawdust. I water
it frequently during summer dry spells.
