Schubertii (Synonym 'Kaupo Beauty') This one has leaves 40" long (including the 7" leaf stem) and 6" wide. Leaf color s green with Pompeian-red to broad, brown streaks down the leaf near the leaf margins.

This in my opinion is the best ti plant for Southern California. It always looks good and is great as a backdrop for other plants. I have quite a few of them. My largest is probably 12 ft. or so. I probably need to cut it back and root the cane cuttings. I've noticed that mine never seem to send out any branches. I have a friend who cut his down and 4 shoots came out. They all ended up dying except one. I wonder if that is a trait with this cultivar?
