Now I have this seedling growing in a pot that has been on my deck all summer. I reused the growing medium that I tried to start the seeds in. Could very well have ended up in this pot. The seed leaves have shriveled up and are starting to disintegrate. They were long and narrow, about 1 or 2" long. The leaves and stem are soft and slightly fuzzy, and they are unpleasantly smelly, like Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven, if you know that pest you know what I mean). I have only grown B. suavolens so far. This plant is very similar overall, but more pubescent, and the leaves, so far, have not developed a serrated margin. If anyone can ID , please advise! Thanks. |
