Hello, I am looking for a cutting of Jasmine Grand Duke of Tuscany. Please let me know if you would like to trade. Seed List: Alyssum (Carpet of Snow) Basil Begonia (Picotee Pink and Illumination Rose) Blue Fescue Cat Grass Cilantro Common Thyme Creeping Thyme Dwarf Japanese Quince Dwarf Pomegranate Jersey Knight Asparagus Lavender (Munstead) Lemon Grass Marjoram Nutri-red Carrot Oriental Poppy Peony (Paul M. Wild) Shirley Poppy

Iknow we have a cruel winter. All my warm weather loving trees like Figs, Jasmin even Banana (I don't know how successful I will grow banana in my weather) All are planted in pots with potting soil of a mix of perlite, Humus and garden soil. I make several holes in the side of the pots and block the bottom drainage then I plant the pots to about half or two thirds in the Garden. Roots amazingly find its way from the holes to the garden soil. Comes the winter I dig the pots out and take them inside the garage and the basement with temperature 50-60. I am very happy and successful growing Figs and rose Jasmin that way. In season I eat lots of sweet delicious Figs. I grow the Figs and the rose Jasmin that way. I never grew Duke of Tuscany. This is first time. I will grow it that way and I hope it works. As for Banana I think it is a very long shot. By the way I block the button drainage of the pots because if I allow the roots to go through it I will need Popeye muscles to pull the pots out in winter.

The scent is the wonderful jasmine fragrance that I love. Mike you are so right about not getting it wet. It had just opened and the rain made the outer petals turn brown. I wish the flower wasn't so delicate so I could enjoy it longer. Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Michael, thanks for your response. Yes, I do still want Jasmine plants. The plants I purchased couple months ago (13 plants) did not survive cold winter here in hi-desert. My mistake, I did not take them inside. Snow-storm last month killed some of my baby epi plants. I'll see if there's some left. I saw several new leaves just come out from mother plant. It may be healthier soon in Spring. Will you hold the trade 'til end of Feb? I also look for rare cactus plants, do you plant cacti? Let me know. Thanks, meli
