Dear All,
For the three species grow (T. tricolor, pentyaphylum , brachyceras) I haze no need for
tubercuttngs. Reproduction by seeds succedes excedingly well. Last Septmber sowing is now
10cm high, but 2006 sowng is now 150cm (60") high and will surely flower next month. Their
vigor surprised me so, that I have to increase the wire netting to the height og 300cm (10ft) as
it is for the adult tubers. T tricolor will soon become available in large quantities and I will
sjurely put them out next season in the garden without any protection. An italian customer
specialising in growing climbing plants for the wholesale market, intends to put up a line of
Tropeolum tricolor which will find their way into the garden centers in Europe.
Greetings from the Soth of France
