    I have just had a Brugmansia bought for me. I have seen this plant when abroad where I was told another name for it is "Fur Apple" that is all I know about it. Anyone out here know more about it and its upkeep?

    It's common name is Thorn apple because of the shape of the seed pods which are like chestnuts on the outside, although many brugs have oval smooth cases depending on variety.

    They like lots of water and sunlight, it's almost impossible to overfeed them, and red spider mites consider them a delicasy.
