Hard to make a trellis for DF & yet be able to cart it in & out. This one is over 6ft tall & very heavy. Yellow is growing up one side & red on the other. They are only supposed to flower on the part that hangs over the top, so maybe next year.
I should start thinking of getting this into a bigger pot - somehow. It's getting top heavy. I used pvc because it is lightweight & sturdy.
Taken today just before it went in S.Rm. for winter.
That's not-so-pretty pink & yellow caution tape I used when I wanted to hurry & tie up to post. It's sturdy but flexible. I don't know HOW I will get this into a bigger pot!!


taken April '07


An experimental hanger. Big one is Red - rooted this year from a 5 inch leg, & the small bushy one at top is yellow.
