The plant is still movable in a big pot but has pretty much outgrown its cart.
So it is parked next to one of two poplar trees that shade my house. I have pruned them to be heavy on the side away from it and cross my fingers in wind storms.
They were big when I moved in almost 50 years ago and the great cooling they provide comes at the price of mucho leaves and a root-bumpy lawn.

I am hoping the flowering process finishes before the first frost.
Recent reading has revealed what an amazingly complex thing that process is.
It does resemble an asparagus spear at this point and is related distantly.
