HAVE: Brugmansia cuttings pink/apricot

16 years ago

There's some confusion about the colour--I thought it was apricot until I got one that was peachier, which made my apricot one seem more pink than apricot.

Anyway, unrooted fresh cuttings are on offer (to be pruned from my large shrub). It's an odd time for evergreen cuttings, but these plants are easy to strike so long as they have moisture and protection from the elements (from fierce heat in summer and extreme cold in winter). It's a good time to post cuttings as they won't dry out too much in the mail.

This variety is almost certainly a B. versicolor. It has only a mild fragrance compared to other brugs (and only at night), but it flowers in flushes throughout the year. You can see a pic at the link below (it's on the third page).

Someone asked me for some cuttings a while back when my plant was too small and I told them to ask me again later when I'd had a chance to plant it in the ground and let it grow properly. Well, I have and it has, so now is the time!

For trade or just a 3kg Express Post satchel. If interested, email this forum first as I don't check the email account often.

Alas, I'm going to have to withdraw my offer as last night every single brugmansia got hit by low overnight temps--every one of them has badly wilted leaves! I'm sure they'll come good in spring, after pruning, feeding and watering, but I don't think there's any viable material for cuttings now.

Well, if you check out the link in my first message you'll see that the brugmansia is reshooting, so I can offer cuttings again. Just shows how resilient the plant is.

Ok, for the impaired...... 1. this IS Gardenweb, NOT Dave's Garden 2. Gardenweb is a free site, Dave's Garden is a pay site. 3. I belong to Gardenweb, not Dave's Garden. 4. I posted that I was and am still wanting to trade my Brugmanisas for other plants. 5. I would still like to trade my Brugmansias for other plants with anyone but Smurfy Grower because she doesn't know even what site she is on. 6. NO ONE STOLE MY IDENTITY! And accusations like that, that are unfounded, without clearing up the facts, are dangerous, malicious and damaging. You do not post that someones identity has been stolen without speaking to that person and getting conformation that indeed that is the case, just because you are confused and or unclear. *** Bonus*** Susan, which is my name and how I sign all my posts, is usually indicitive of a 'female' person. Ok, man? Thanks! Susan

I am located in Southeastern Massachusetts, and mine have just started to bloom because we had such terrible weather in late Spring. You may keep my "address" and contact me sometime in late November or December. I will have plenty at that time. PLEASE make a note and put the word GardenWebber in the subject area of your e-mail to me, otherwise I will not get your message because I have my filters set very high.

Hey, I have Brugmansia Sanguinea and Brugmansi arborea (this one seems to be going dormant though). Let me know if you are interested and I will send you pictures and you can tell me how to cut and ship the cuttings (This is my first year growing these from seeds, so I don't have pics of them in bloom). Thanks!

Just thought I'd post a few links for striking cuttings from brugmansias, one below and one in the official URL link section:
http://www.abads.net/Rooting

That's just if you're unsure about exactly what to do, or are curious about how others do it.

Bev and Shelly, I haven't yet received any prepaid satchels from you and therefore haven't been able to send you the cuttings. Next week, maybe.

Shelly, your letter arrived this morning (Monday) and I've just posted your cuttings in the satchel. So long as you plant them the right way up, you should have no problem getting them to strike!
