Re: Anybody growing plumerias?

Well, I think some of the more dwarf and some of the Variegates are not all that vigorous on their own roots, much as any other plant, such as Citrus. I know they do lots of grafting on them in...

SBL- How does Jalapeno deal with the heat down there? Where it is from, in Veracruz is a very cool, rainy climate. I was just wondering how it took the Florida weather.

Re: need to verify ID

It does look a little short and stocky. I'd say it does resemble my Raja Puri, which I got from a reliable source, Cough cough, Gabe. I think it originated at Going Bananas too.
