Hi all, I was wondering if all brugs would pollinate each other or if some were more picky like in the passiflora family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Linda
Will all brugs pollinate each other?
Flava = Sanguinea x arborea or arborea x sanguinea ...you can also cross vulcanicola into this mix to stir things up.
aurea x suaveolens x versicolor, insignis are your other possibilities. With that said, some (Culebra, etc. ) are notoriously hard to set seed on but it should be noted that these will set seed as well. Some cultivars, not species mind you, are simply a bit more difficult to set seed with or are more pollen receptive than others. Snowbank is a tetraploid and given that fact you should find your best luck with that hybrid by using diploid pollen on it and hoping for a long shot which can and did happen. All Brugmansia are diploid that we know of with the exception of Snowbank.
Thanks EricKnight, I appreciate the help. I have so much to learn. LOL
Eric, are there any crosses with Culebra as a parent? It woulld be interesting to see the offspring.
