I have 4 trades of rooted Tiara, double white brug for trade. These are primary cuts (see picture), not secondary.

Want:
Other colors of double brugmansia. Preferably primary cuts.
FYI - I have found in my experience that secondary cuttings are fragile when exposed to wind. I've had countless branches be sheared off by wind with secondary cuts.

Do you still have some for trade?
James
Hi James .. yes I do.

What would you want to trade?
James
I have some other brugs but they are dormant now and havent come up yet but will come up in the spring. I have some others that are not rooted yet but as soon as they are rooted I can ship one out to you.
Here is my list of brugs:
New orleans lady
jamies monkey business
and a few others that are not ready to be shipped or havent come up yet in my garden.
Hi,
I'd really like some other doubles .. I'm in the process of making a trade for New orleans lady with someone else. What other doubles do you have?

Thanks,
James
James that herrehauser is gorgeous as all of your are. X that white is fantastic.
Would you explain the primary and secondary cuts to me please, I'm not sure if I have it right.
A primary is a straight shoot that is not growing from a leaf node on a stem/trunk. When you pinch the tops of plants new shoots will grow above leaf nodes. These are secondary's. Secondary's are more fragile than primarys in plants that have a high profile, like brugmansia, in wind as they can be sheared away from the main stem. If you cut off a secondary shoot and root it, you then have a primary. It's all one single piece and not an off shoot of a stem.
When I get cuttings that are secondarys, I grow them in a pot until the shoot is long enough to turn into a primary if I plan to plant it in the ground. When I take cuttings in the fall for wintering over I always try to get ones that are starting to Y, so come spring they are blooming early.

Thank you, that kept throwing me off, somehow I was thinking you meant the secondary was a cutting above the Y. I understand it better now.
Here is a crude picture
I think it is a good picture and it explains it the way I imagined after your explanation.
