I lost my big tree this past winter of P. tuberculata. It's hard to say whether it became desiccated at the soil line and then started to rot or whether it just started to rot due to the conditions. When I discovered that it was happening, I took some cuttings and grafted them to my P. jamaicaensis. Two of the three grafts took thankfully. Grafting is the way to go with this one. I tried to root two cuttings, and one is still trying to root. It seems to root very slowly. Anyway, the flower is very small right now. I don't know if this is normal or a result of the conditions. It seems to have a mild fragrance, but I'll check again later on that.
