We dug and moved these Cyphostemma currorii to the
San Diego Zoo in April 2016. Imported in 1973 as a 1ft plant.
They were installed in the Africa Rocks exhibit Summer 2017.
Check out this
time lapse video of the move. 2 hours to make sure they don't
loose a single leaf. What leaves? It will be covered in a month.
