Brugmansia

The leaves are starting to fill in. It's on a south facing deck. The leaves are a bit yellow. This is also the case for come of the ginkgos and a rose-of-sharon, so maybe it's the cold nights? A nutrient deficiency? I gave it a boost of fish emulsion. On the other hand, maybe I overdid the compost and organic vegetable food? However, according to this site (American Brugmansia and Datura Society), Brugmansias like heavy feeding and high nitrogen. I also noted on Gardenweb that some growers add Epson Salts - maybe next weekend if it's still lookin peaked. On the ohter hand, this may be 'killing with kindness' so maybe it should just get water and no food. Stay tuned.... Posted by Picasa
