Re: Visit to Plant Delights

You will definitely have to bring it in. Yes, I have it, and the 'Alba' as
well. They are planted on 20 foot rebar rods that have been bent over the
top of  my greenhouse to semi-cover it in the summer. And yes, they are all
the way over, onto the arbor, the fence and whatever else they can reach.
Thank GOD they die back in the winter.
I'd prune it before it comes in for the winter, or else you'll have it
climbing on everything else.

I'll send you the list of all the stuff Tony gave us. What's your address or
I can fax it to you. And I can probably send you quite a bit of the things
on the list. I love the tropical look and have spent the past few years
adding more and more plant material.
