Hi everyone! This thread has me a bit confused. For I planted 10 Triple Crown in back in 2020 - or at least that is what I ordered. I am in Pearland, which is about 10 miles south of Houston, so not many chill hours at all. But I get a TON of berries each year, and they are extremely vigorous. As of today, 4/25/24, a few of their berries are JUST starting to turn black, but most are still red or green. Is it possible for someeone to confirm that they look like Triple Crown? That people are having trouble getting berries off them in Houston is weird when they produce so many for me. Here are some pics: And a close up of a stem and some berries - I bagged the one that is starting to turn red/black because every year the birds (and squirels? probably the birds only) have been robbing me of 95% of the berries): Thanks!

Maternut..Wish we were neighbors. I have more COT's than I know what to do with. Can't toss them, but they sure take a LOT of room. When they were purchased, all were babies..Guess I didn't think they'd someday grow larger. lol. Larry. Cold shouldn't harm COT's, but those I recently brought indoors, 'after several nights @ 35F/1.7C, a couple nights dipped 32F/0C, a good number of leaves dropped..Some leaves had frost-bite. But like you said, Euphorbias are tough. Unfortunately, not tough enough to be outdoors for long periods at 32/0. Wonder how OP's COT is doing.

Sorry, I misread the leaf description as flower description. I grew E. leuconuera for a few yrs., it was OK, yes bleeds white sap, I think it may be commonly called "Nerve Plant" (has green leaves w/ prominent whitish/gray veining). They don't really bloom exactly, they sort of get this yellow or white polleny bits along its 4-sided stem, at least mine did. Pls. be careful w/ the sap on yr. skin & esp. yr. eyes & mucous membranes, it may cause irritation.

Iknow the age of the rose because on the wrapper [which I have since lost] said it was a 2 year old, field grown rose.
