Eloise right now I would love to have your temps LOL I moved to Tn from the Fingerlakes region in upstate NY and was told how short and warm winter would be here in Tn. I'll tell you they lied LOL. Actually I'm told we're having an abnormally long and cold winter this year. One for the history books.
I'm going to try growing brugs in the ground but I will certainly take cuttings as back ups. I was just on a BGI page and saw an interesting way to root a large number of cuttings using a rolled up clear garbage bag and spaghmum moss. I could root many cuttings this way in a smaller space than otherwise.
I was also doing a little research and learned that brugs come from SA with some coming from the Andes Mountains. I'm thinking the species from those locations should in theory be tougher than the ones on low lying tropical areas. So following this logic I want to try my hand at B.aurea and B. arborea if I can locate any.
