They are very slow growing, that tree could be older than you are. Antiques always cost more.

Ol’ boy rocked up w/ a $600 grass tree. Haven’t planted it yet but looking at the price and care instructions… fuck that. I mean it looks nice but who the f pays that for single tree.

On the care instruction manual, reckoned it’s 100 yrs old 🧑🦽

when logging companies go into old growth forests to cut them down is that what they are really after.
They get more money for the grass trees and tree ferns than they do for the trees.

That costs more than my pc lol

lol… my first thought was dayam that’s more than my new soundcard.
Second thought was this will be an expensive mistake. Dude up the road has 3 of these in his front garden. Like $1800 worth of tree that anyone could just dig up and take off with them.

I have not used a soundcard since the 80’s. Creative labs soundblaster it was. Without one you had to listen to the grating noise of the 1 bit motherboard speaker connector while playing games. These days I use the amazing analog sound output or bluetooth from the motherboard to headphones. You must have really discerning ears.

Are these the ones you need to set fire to sometimes?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I wouldn’t. They often don’t survive.( have seen results of many bushfires )

Gawd hope not.
I have set fire to the other native grasses in the background before but that was a less expensive mistake lol.
