I know I'm not here much anymore, mostly because I have nothing to add. Just plain ole brugs, no exotics. BUT..............I DO have 3 humongous ones............see if you can find me in the pic. I chop them back to about 4 feet in the fall when I take them into the g'house; then strip all new growth off all winter till about April. Guess it doesn't hurt them any.
If you can grow them into giants like that, they ain't plain ole brugs to me. Must be paradise to be standing under them and inhaling their fragrance.
Whatever you're doing..you're doing it right!
Ya, they are just plain ole brugs. Your basic yellow-turns-to-peach color. Hope I can get one of my pink ones to grow that huge. Will post a couple more pix later.
I have a one story ranch house and my insignis pink goes to the roof and will probably top it before I trim it back next month.
I am going to jump in here as well--instead of starting a new Post.....
I have a Peaches and Cream Brug that I carry over in my basement--in a dormant form--every year. I believe this Spring I root-pruned it and re-potted it in fresh potting mix adding lots of Dynamite plant food, kelp meal, etc....
It is now in it's big pot, which is 3/4 buried in a bed and it gets really bright AM sun until about 2PM. It has grown and grown--with huge leaves (see picture below) and appears VERY lush.
There are about 6 main trunks and they have all "y"'ed long ago....
My other one has (Rose Souvelons) has had 2 rounds of blooms already.
Oooops.....I just went out to look and i DO see flower buds! Yippie!!!!
Still wondering--what took it so long????
Thanks, Gita
Gita, your Peaches and Cream is gorgeous. It's beautiful even without blooms with those huge leaves. It's been so hot and dry here that my Brugs are conserving moisture by producing real small leaves.
