These 2 brugs are what remain from my first overwintering of brugs. I dug them up in Oct. before first frost, potted them up, pruned to above Y's and stripped off most foliage. Then I put them in a cold, dark bulb cellar. They grew for a few months, eerie white chlorophyll free stalks. Then the winter had a terrible cold snap for several weeks. They may have frozen. I pulled them out in mid-March. On the left is Suav. White and on the right is Jamaica Yellow. I also lost most cuttings I tried to overwinter. I simply didn't have the GH space to keep them in the light. Next year...
