Well, they are very chunky if they have leaves to 5ft tall!

I wonder, do they have any trunk below the rosettes? I've seen dekoster' in Ireland with quite an amount of trunk, but it was horizontal.

There is a form of B. albiflora with greyish leaves as opposed to the very green form and this species does of course form substantial (and more upright) trunks. I'm sure I've seen a large trunked B. albiflora at least once in CA with greyish leaves, but at the time I had the idea it might be a hybrid with dekoster'...
