Re: More Datura...


Hi Don,
Yes,I have one if not exactly the same very similiar...
Here it just comes back from volunteer seeds,and yes I've had several get
well over 6' and trunk as large as what you say perhaps larger...
Dont remember just where I got the seed,but it appears I will now have it
forever as it is
an aggressive reseeder for me..Does anyone ever worry about virus'that
they say they
can harbor and infect other plants??Just curious as I had a Smoke
Bush(Cotinus)come down with Verticillum Wilt last year and just wondered
if there was  a connection.
