Century trees rarely bloom

An agave, a shrub that is said to be 100 years old once blooms, is blooming in the garden in the state of South Carolina (USA).

Gerald Brantley stood in front of the agave tree, the plant could die before it could bloom.

The owner of the garden, Gerald Brantley, has put a sign to attract tourists to see plants rarely bloom. Even if it is not 100 years old, this plant rarely flowers, even if it can die before flowering.

Brantley said that he moved a tree taller than 9m from his mother's home in Georgia to his home 20 years ago. This species is usually only about 2m tall, but will grow very quickly during the preparation period. After the century tree dies, many small sprouts will grow and continue the long life cycle.

Brantley said about 150 people have visited his garden since the plant was planted as a scene.
