Title: Re: PITTOSPORUM phillyreoides


Dear Medit-Planters (especially those in hot low rainfall areas)-

David Feix seemed so surprised that this plant is widely available in
Southern California that I called Kathy Musial at the Huntington to
check
out my thoughts.   She said all the big wholesalers grow it and all the
better
retail nurseries carry it.

First note the correct spelling in the subject box.   Then if you want
to try
one they carry them contnuously from Santa Barbara south to Chula Vista.

One friend says they are found at Longs,  Payless,  and in every Home
Depot.   There is a gorgeous 20 footer in the main parking lot at the LA

Wow, Kathy must live in a different southern California than I do.  I have never seen this tree in the nurseries and believe me, I shop them all (from Santa Barbara to Chula Vista literally)!  I wanted one about 5 years ago and it took me weeks to track it down.  The wholesaler that grew it is no longer in business.  I'd like to know where Kathy has seen it...

If only they carried them at Longs, Payless and Home Depot I'd be thrilled!  Pittosporums are common but not the sp phillyreoides.
