Fuchsia Looking Woody

17 years ago

I have had this lovely fuchsia (dark eyes?) upright bush for a few years now. It has been a good bloomer and stands about five feet tall. Of late, I have noticed that it is getting rather woody with sparse foliage. I gave it a light prune about three four weeks ago, but I don't see any new growth. Should I prune further or wait and watch?

Come on all you Fuchsia grower's down there, give pkayen some input. I could only tell her how I treat mine, which are all in the greenhouse for the winter. Since I have just started to plant the hardies up here in Z 7/8, Z10 is a different ballgame.

When I lived in England I got all my fuschias from Kathleen Muncaster of 18 Field Lane, Morton nr Gainsborough. I think she is retired now, but she is an immensely obliging person and if anyone can help I'm sure she can. She sometimes posts on this site "Fuschia-Lady". Her phone number is 01427 612329. I'm curious to know how you will keep unrooted cuttings alive on the trip to Thailand.

Q

Pawpaw, Asimina triloba, has a somewhat tropical look and don't forget Magnolia macrophylla, one of the most tropical-looking natives of all. Golden-rain tree, Koelreuteria paniculata, is also somewhat tropical-looking, especially when covered with bright yellow flowers in the summer. Firmiana simplex can also look quite tropical, especially as a seedling, but is not quite as hardy as the above three.
