Thevetia peruviana

Of course you can be cheeky, Gaz ... wouldn't expect anything less from you ... :luv: Have to know where in Luton you are though other than down from the station at Leagrave ... xx

 

Hello Biszek. Please contact me via e-mail through GC as I cannot respond to your PMs as your 'receive messages' link seems to be turned off. I will be delighted to put your pictures up if you wish ... or why do you not do so yourself here as your English is very good and your pictures also. Regards, Victoria.

Gaz, I have so far managed to get two ripe 'stones', one for Marley and one for you. Hopefully the sun will stay strong enough for the remaining four pods to ripen so you can have more than one each!

 

Have just caught up on this thread again, Sis, and that is great news that your Thevetia has seed pods that developed into stones. :gnthb: Fingers crossed that yours do next year, too. Strongy. I guess the sun and warmth down in Portugal did the trick for Sis.

Re the colour, we only ever saw the peach coloured ones in Cyprus. If we did see a yellow one, then we probably thought it was a different shrub.

 

Hello
I couldn't reply you earlier, because long time my account was inactive. I grow Thevetia peruviana In Poland. In my country are short summer, and winter temperature comes to -20 C.

For example my, but still did not flower. I did not know conditions in what Thevetia peruviana Winter, my flowers In winter could died, because was too cold.

I recommend grow Thevetia peruviana form seeds. They grow in initial period very quickly , they slow down then. Not all seeds sprout , some can rot

seeds can rot in the ground

 

Hello biszek .. I am pleased you are speaking here now.

Many, many people here are going to be jealous of what you are doing in Poland. It is just amazing.

Please keep up with your developments.

Thank you for your posting.
