Brugmansia

Brugmansia and Datura 
Angel's Trumpets and Thorn Apples

By Ulrike and Hans Georg Preissel

Is the best reference book!!  There are groups out there to join if you think you want to.
There is information online at these groups and one should know the top growers if one
really wants to grow these.   I don't do the political things when it comes to plants.    Yes,
I have joined some of these groups but feel it's not for me.   Each gardener is different and
one needs to find what works for you.

Be forewarned these are toxic!!  Respect them and you will be safe.  They can cause death!! 

I have been asked this past week to do a step by step detail of growing Brugmansias
as some folks are needing some advice.   We have covered a lot of what we do here
in the past posts and hope folks will take some time to read old posts.  We do not have a degree in hort and do things that are frowned upon by some, but they work!!   So as time permits after
I get the plants put away I'll try to do a month by month what we do here to help new
growers.

Right now one shouldn't be fertilizing and allowing the plants to get ready for a restful winter!!
Sept 1 to Sept. 15 is cut off time for fertilizing.  Oct. 1 to 15th is time to bring them in.

More to come...........
