RE: Jatropha integerrima

Jim: I'd take one or two cuttings and be an experiment to see if this
plant will overwinter and/or be a well behaved house guest, if it's not
too late to ask...I know I'm late in responding to so many of these
emails but vacation time is always such a busy time with the
kids/house/church job...

Subject: [CHAT] Jatropha integerrima

This is a wonderful plant that I've just figured out how to propagate.
<br>Blooms all year [truly; no nursery hype] and is very adaptable--I
have <br>two I'm raising as single-stem patio trees, one that is planted
in my <br>front hedge [red flowers among the purple Mexican petunias and
yellow <br>shrub allamanda], and--the most glorious of all--one that is
espaliered <br>along the entry fence to the back patio.<br><br>I don't
know how far north they will survive or whether they can become
<br>house plants or over-winter indoors.<br><br>Anyway, if you'd like to
try a rooted cutting in your neighborhood, let <br>me know. I plan to
start a bunch more cuttings next weekend and will <br>accommodate all I
have cutting-box room for.<br><br><br>Island Jim<br>Southwest
