He has been rather blah until now! This is actually from a huge sucker off Big Yella.
Big Yella is BACK!
He sure isn't blah now. That is very pretty Kell. Is it scented?
Kell I am waiting on mine to bloom again, it bloomed this winter, and I have repotted it in a nice big pot. It looks like it is going to be a very good heavy bloomer.
What a beauty Kell. Love your photo!!!
Beautiful bloom, Kell.
that's a nice rich looking color Kell!
No signs of a Y on mine yet. Wish it would hurry. Your blooms are beautiful.
I absolutely love this one. The blooms are so big, it has a nice shape and the color is so bright and vivid.
Kell, whats the chances of getting a cutting off this plant?
I have a Y on mine,now the bud watch begins.;0)
It is a beauty!
Looks awesome Kell
I love that color
I want to see that color on a double...
I second that, CC.
The blooms till now have been light and nothing special. It just finally started putting out the huge, dark pillowey ones that I love!
Kell, will you send a cutting for postage?
OH Earthing, I could say I would but I have promised so many friends things and I am so far behind. There is not enough time in the day. So I sure do not want to mislead you. Also I am pathetic. Email me your address with what you want and I I make you no promises but you never know if I will wake up with the urge to do packaging one day soon!
My!! Incredible color, love those trendils! Perfect picture as always Kell.
Kell beautiful photo as you ususally do. On my screen it is a deep gold color. Is that about what it is. Donna
Thank you, Kell, you have mail.
Don't thank me yet Earthling! LOL
Ponditis, yes it has a big scent!
Donna, yes, it gets very pumpkin colored. I am not sure what makes it darken. Also the recurve comes later in the season also. It has just started to put those out. I love it when it is full of giant pillowy blooms.
This one is just changing to dark now. Later today it will get its great recurve and turn dark.
They start out yellow. Then turn to orange. So you get several colors on your tree at one time. Most of these blooms are new. They will darken.
This is a very young sucker, all 7 feet still very green. The most amazing trait of Big Yella is that it is incredibly aggressive and puts out huge suckers that make great alley trees.
I like how the center is yellow!
My Dr. Seuss is very dark right now also. Looks similar though not as a robust a bloom!
What a beautiful brug! Dumb newbie question (well, I've been growing brugs for 4 yrs but I'm new to this forum). Is 'Big Yella' available anywhere, or is this one of Kell's that is not on the market?
Just beautiful!
Thanks Monika. It is funny, I have the tendency to be fickle and want to toss my old goldies in favor of new glitter ones. Then the new one does some dumb thing and I realize sometimes the dependable, old ones who have proven themselves over and over again are much more worthy of my devotion!
I hope my DH believes this also. LOL!!
Sorry, Tom, just saw this thread again. It is one I bought from a hardware store. I think they grow them from seeds for they have tons of these yellow ones but all are a little different. I have grown out 3 or 4 of them now, and Big Yella is by far the best one. This is one aggressive brug! I have sent him all over so I am sure he is available.
OK, who else out there has Big Yella?
Well.....I did!!! Waaaaa :(
It was beautiful....growing so well in the house over the winter....and then....I killed it 'dead'!!! I couldn't believe it! But that was before I totally understood spider mites!
Mine is now thinking about setting some buds. Looks like a lot of my seedlings will bloom before the cuttings do this year. I'm anxious to see this one bloom in my yard.
I think I may have this one if the rain and toads haven't done it in.
I do,it looks like it is going to a real bloomer here.
Great! Please let me know if any of you have extra cuttings this fall. I'd be glad to trade anything I have or reimburse you for postage.
Tom, one of us will get one for you. I have two in the ground and will have to either dig one to hold over or take cuttings, but I should have cuttings available. However, anyone who gets cuttings from me should be aware that I did have a potted cutting that had stangelbrand this winter and I dug out my CG (not near any of the other brugs) because I thought it might have it too. I am not seeing anything at this time with any of the other 150 plus brugs, but I've heard that sometimes it doesn't show up until the plant is stressed.
Tom, this fall there'll be many cutting of different Brugs offered to anyone who wants them.
Tom I think you will be in for a shock come fall. I dont have BY just yet, but you are more than welcome to any cuttings of brugs I have.
Question about the fall cuttings - they are not rooted, right?? If that is the case, how are they shipped - that is are they just put in something wet and shipped overnight??? TIA!!
They are not rooted, most people take time to wrap the bottom of the cuttings in wet paper towels and then put baggies of the towels to hold in the moisture. It is a long, time consuming, and expensive venture for all that openly send cuttings. That is why lots of people limit the amount of boxes they are going to send.
Thanks, Shelly!!! That is very generous of you!!!
Thanks, TLynn !!! I was late getting lots of plants in the ground but I expect to have lots of cuttings, I just don't know which ones, yet, and I'm glad to know how to ship them. Do you get boxes at the post office, does UPS have boxes, I can find that out here but those long, triangle boxes are perfect. I might even get around to rooting a few...
I get priority boxes from the PO. They have a website were you can order them online and they are free. The have tape, lables, just about everything you need to ship.
