Don,
I'm curious about the seed production of brugmansias. Are you saying that
you have to have two different VARIETIES of brugmansias (i.e., a versicolor
and a yellow-blooming variety) or different TYPES (I can't recall the
different latin names at the moment)? If pollination doesn't occur
naturally, can I do that myself? The night pollinators seem to shy away
from the huge blooms. If so, when is the best time? What does the seed
pod look like? I've had these trees several years and I can't say that I
would know what one was if it jumped out and bit me!
I'm thinking that this would be a good way to try to get your own cultivar
if you dabbled in that sort of thing.
