Hi, Alana: No luck on the tomato front, but would you be willing to trade some of those hairy ball seeds for some spilanthes "peek-a-boo" seeds? My Gomphocarpus physocarpus bit the dust when I put them out on Mother's day and we got a light frost. THanks for your consideration.

I am also looking for the name of a green leaf shrub. It keeps it's leaves throughout all seasons; small purple berries grow (like grapes) in the winter. In spring it has tiny white to yellow flowers (somewhat sweet aroma). I have heard it called Wax Leaf Agusta; but cannot find that name any where. It looks very similar to a Red Tip, but these never have red leaves. It can get the size of a medium size tree if left untrimmed. I would like to know the name so I can find out if the berries of poisonous. My Bischon really wants to eat them and I have tried to be very careful with him around the berries when they are on the ground. I really need to know what this is. By the way, I am in Central Texas-Zone 8. Thanks

Laceyvail, thanks for that bit, but I wonder.......having seen numerous examples of the straight American species, and this in SW Florida, that were in fact reasonably compact, in situations where for certain nobody ever prunes them.......that you might be overstating just a bit, as far as the trouble this fine shrub would cause the OP in his/her spot? Not saying you are, mind you. Just wondering about all that. Plus, who knows....maybe the coppicing treatment you're using-a great idea BTW-is actually resulting in more vigorous growth within any single growing season, if that makes any sense. As far as that goes, I've pondered using this shrub (beauty berry) here in Wisconsin. You really basically never see it around here, yet its hardiness rating suggests that it should work, especially if handled the way you (Lacey) are. I could see it being a great one. But I digress...........
