theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted January 15, 2016 Yeh that's what I received it as. Give me a little bit and I shall post a photo up. Toast just visited me actually and commented my leaves are larger than his so maybe it's something else. But it was received from a reputable member Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2XB Posted January 15, 2016 from piccies the leaves should be a lot larger, either way I am keen to root some cuttings! My small trees of Ilex paraguayensis have very small leaves in comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) It appears to be at my friends in his greenhouse sorry, pic could take a few days and a possible reminder lol Edit I hope I'm not mistaking it for another plant either. I had finally got a cutting about 2 years ago (maybe a lot less) from ef but couldn't care for it so moved it to a mates Along my my Iboga and a few others. The boga is still going I heard but haven't visited since dec which is bad it's only 15mins away lol Edited January 15, 2016 by theuserformallyknownasd00d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2XB Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) what plant did toast comment on? Ilex paraguariensis? Edited January 15, 2016 by doublebenno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted January 15, 2016 Yeh the paraguariensis. It's in a forgotten about spot against a wall living off rain water and doing awesome. Its leaves would be longer than a bic lighter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Yeh that's what I received it as. Give me a little bit and I shall post a photo up. Toast just visited me actually and commented my leaves are larger than his so maybe it's something else. But it was received from a reputable member So it was Ilex paraguariensis that I saw? I didn't realise you also grow I. guayusa. That is a is much really cool plant, the tea is much stronger than Yerba Mate. As well as caffeine, it contains theobromine and L-theanine, also present in green tea, which buffers the side effects of the caffeine and makes for a smoother stimulation. The plants is quite rare outside of Sth America as it doesn't strike well from cuts, from my understanding Good score d00d. Good thing you didn't show me the I. guayusa yesterday, I might of tried to touch myself in front of it Great catching up though mate Edited January 15, 2016 by toast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2XB Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I would like to hear if anyone knows for certain if this plant exists in Australia. It would be awesome if you could confirm what u have stored at your mates dood :-) It does appear to be mainly propgated by cuttings as the trees rarely set viable seed, although it does seem possible to grow from seed. I would love to grow this along side mate, it doesn't seem very likely though.. . Edited January 15, 2016 by doublebenno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted January 17, 2016 Sorry for all the kafufel, it was either a matè all along or its died along a few others and tossed by my mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
