I got one this spring, but it is still a baby.  In fact, I just finally got around to planting it over the weekend.

Keep it wet Jerry!  I had one but I couldn't keep it wet enough and it finally said, "I'm outta here!"

Maybe if I got one and placed it strategically I won't have to build an awning  8) or plant one near my neighbor so they won't have to re-roof their tattered wood shingles  {:-P;;

Kanapaha Botanical Garden in Gainesville, FL had one but it got damaged by Frances and Jeanne when they came through. I'm 6'3" and I could of hid behind the leaf of that thing. The elephant ears in my neighbor's yard got huge last year. He watered them contantly.

Unless we get a wet winter things may be tough!
I May start pumping the 1000s of gallons that runs down the street each morning!

How do we cut back 10% as the mayor asked when they never met a developer they didn't like.
Massive development here, permits galore!  Then there are the illegals to boot! {nono}
