Tigerama

[helixturnhelix]

I have a small plant of this cv that was a single stem so I pinched the top.  It only grew a new branch in the place of the old one, no new branches.  Is this cv a poor brancher?

That can happen with a lot of cultivars. To force more branching you can let the main or any stem grow longer and then make a harder pinch, cutting closer to the base of the stem instead of just pinching out the growing tip. I would not call Tigerama a good brancher but it does branch some in response to pruning.

I will try that.  Im glad the others I pinched are good branchers

Charlie, are you going to be offering any of these?  I really would love to get one.  I was going to put my name on the wait list, but didn't want to be rude if you didn't offer it. 
Thanks

Yes, I grow Tigerama and have a couple of big old plants of it that provide wood for grafts. It is a graft only variety that has an excellent flower and has been used to make some pretty seedlings around the world. It's definitely worthwhile in my opinion.

Charlie, when do you think Tigerama will be available?

[Charlie]

Tigerama should ship next summer but will be offered once I am sure the plants are going to make it.
