I would sure love to have room for 128 of anything! I lost one of my cestrum nocturnum plants last winter in a pot outside during one of the colder freezes so I didnt leave the other one outside this winter. My guess would be that nocturnum is probably not one of the best species for the area, C. parqui is from chile and I bet would do better in the cooler temps. Mine is a monster inside, I have to hack it back every two weeks so that it doesnt take over my grow room. Those luma are magnificent trees. Check out this picture of a luma forest in chile. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma_apiculata, The trees there are 650 years old it says. I woud love to go to chile to see some of the plants there in their natural setting, maybe after the house:) It is always awesome to see something that has been living and growing for that long. Im actually looking at lots in port orford right now as I have always wanted to build a house. Your right about real estate taking a nose dive, great for me as the plants are taking over my home, here is a picture of the invasion. Excuse the blurry cell phone pic, I dont have a digital camera yet.
