Are you interested in a peanut butter fruit? I have a small seedling. I also have a nice sized cattley guava.

I know it's a little late to be commenting on this post that turned up in my search for info on Loquat, Eriobotrya japonica. Although this thread didn't have anything to do with my question about Loquats, I couldn't stop reading. Scott, you did a great job on this article. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot. I'm particularly interested in the cold frames you made with the PVC. Last year I made some out of wood for my mom and stapled plastic to it. I will not do that again. I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind. (1) What width or diameter PVC did you use? I didn't realize PVC was that flexible. What makes it hold that shape? (2) Did you just sink the ends of the PVC directly into the ground? I couldn't tell because of the blankets. I'd like to be prepared long before winter sets in this winter. Your frames are great because they look easy to construct and easy to dismantle & store when not in use. Thank you.

I love Rangoon Creeper but you should know that some find the perfume overpowering. I do, too, unless if can waft across some distance. The seed pods are used in traditional medicines of Asia as a vermifuge. Wrightia Religiosa is just lovely. I have had mine for about 3 years. It has bloomed every year but has not rebloomed for me, yet. I had read that it is a flusher or a continual bloomer. I have the single form. The scent is marvelous though not too strong. The closest that I can come to in describing it is orchid. Very fine and complex. I am interested in the Randia. Is it fragrant also?

Mine is in full bloom now. The white star flowers are stunning against the dark green foliage, and the scent...ah, the scent is heady. It may be out of bloom sequence because it was covered with potato vines. The fruit is an interesting novelty, but as a specimen plant it is spectacular.
