I first collected and planted Mangrove pods from the sea, (Propogules) back in 2021.
They were planted in hollow bamboo, sand filled stems in my sump.
They have finally been producing noticeable stilt like roots, that (To me) actally resemble Mangrove trees.

Some of the emersed foriage stands 5 ft above the surface water above the sump.
