New leaves have emerged from the tips of the Hercules-clubs. Study the development from dormancy to full-vigor below. It's a 3-week transformation.
 |
| This is the top of a Hercules-club as of March 1st. It's a stick with odd ridges and spikes. |
 |
| Two weeks later we see a little vitality: on March 12th, the apex has changed shape and turned green! |
 |
| On March 21st, it's a completely different picture. We now have fresh, young leaves. These leaves still have a lot of growing to do. Hercules-clubs produce enormorous compound leaves. |
