Maybe. Or almost. I actually have two schefs. One is green like in your photo and the other is variegated. It's the variegated that I have to cut back. I'm hoping I can manage the green leaved one another year. The green is naturally a smaller plant. Here's a photo sort of showing the big one. This is the 'warehouse district' and there is a galvanized stock trough behind what is on the ground . I don't actually have a photo of just the schefs. The green one is in the trough and is what you see up by the tree trunk. The variegated is the one sticking out to the right of the photo. What you can't see is the original stem which grew parallel to the ground and is concealed in the photo. The plant has a flat side, but some of the stems just require more space than I have. Hope you can tell something from the photo. They accurately reflect my growing style, so it's messy. I've pulled it out and plan to take a photo tomorrow before I cut it back.
