Just how big can these things get?
Have you entered it in the county fair?
Pretty gnarly!
Maybe save that one and string some lights on it and put a star on top for Christmas 
And I thought my 3" cone was big. That this is so long it even started growing leaves.
This was on a Cascade plant, all the way up at the end of a bine. Some people call the leaves angel wings, but this one looks more a dragon. Check out the gnarley thing growing out of the tip.
Christmas trees and county fairs sound great, but I have a more noble (or less creative) plan… Brew a batch of beer!
Now I just need a worthy name. Dragon’s Red Ale perhaps.
