Never before had we seen so many large Agaves, and never before had we seen any Agaves this large in situ. Not only were there plenty of 5' and 6' A. chrysantha strewn about, we found what may be a contender for the largest habitat Agave in all of Arizona. This huge A. chrysantha is currently throwing an oak tree of a flower stalk, so isn't long for this world, but only after reaching leviathan proportions of 8' x 5'! I had just seen 'Big Bertha' three days prior, as Martin introduced me to an enormous 6'+ A. palmeri that stood as the most massive habitat Agave I had seen to date. 'King Chrys' is 50% again as large as that giant.
