[align=left]I have a pretty much full grown Gunnera. G. Manicata to be precise. I love it, so much so it moved house with me in 2003 and lived in an*two feet*diameter plastic pot for the first Summer. By '04 the plant resembled something more akin to a Triffid and trying very hard to get out of its pot which was by now*oval shaped.[/align]

[align=left]So, I built a 4 feet square, 3 feet deep enclosure, made out of railway sleepers (wooden track beams) to grow my little baby above ground. It's like a big plant pot really. I filled it with lots of lovely things, including half a bucket of chicken pellet fertilizer. It*likes its food so much it's now trying to get out of its new pot by pushing the wooden beams apart (should have screwed the things together, too late now).[/align]

[align=left]So, here's my problem. It looks like I'm going to have to chop out at least one of the crowns. Anyone tried to do this before?[/align]

[align=left]Ideally I'd like to grow on the chopped out crown but the only person I know of who's tried this said her plant died.[/align]

[align=left]Any ideas on Gunnera love would be appreciated.[/align]
