I was so impressed with the messenger last summer, that I asked for and got a whole case of it for my birthday! I'll be using it on everything this year, except for the smallest seedlings, new cuttings, and a few unfortunate 'control' plants. I lost a lot of leaves with the GA, and will wait for better natural conditions to use it again, and with hesitation.

My bucket Brugs this year ranged from small thin cuttings, to 5-7 ft trees. That is what happened to the Butterfly plant that grew from the rootball last fall. Last fall I cut off the main tree trunk about a foot above the ground, and left the root ball to see if it would return this spring. (last year I brought it in). It, and many others are coming back fine! Some of those others may "go" too, since I have the trees that were cut in the fall that will bloom sooner,The bucket Brugs are ready to go in the ground as soon as I find the time and space for them. They've been in gal pots for over a month.
