Re: Angophora costata and Senecio tamoides

Hello Richard,
I just thought I would get back to you about a few of
the things you had written about recently, now that I
am back in Berkeley...
 The Eucalyptus relative, Angophora costata, is
planted as a young specimen in the Strybing Arboretum,
australian section, and reminds me of a Tristania
laurina more than a eucalyptus, at least in the
appearance of the foliage...
The Senecio tamoides vine that you were asking about
is available as a 1 gallon size plant at The Dry
Garden, 6556 Shattuck Ave, Oakland, phone: 510 547
3564.  The vine will bloom in the late fall through
winter, and is a rampant grower, so give it room.  I
also have seed of this plant if you are interested.
