Torsten Posted May 23, 2003 We've just worked out an efficient way of doing cuttings from this plant (after 4 years of trying), so we will offer it on SAB by the middle of the next summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

planthelper Posted May 23, 2003 you did'nt lissen to what torsten said at eb01 or you all forgot. he said there is a seedbearing tree at sRBG at the "wall" somewhere. oh, how i love my super longterm memory... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted May 25, 2003 The tree at RBG does not bear seed. I haven't even seen it flower yet. My oldest flowered for the first time this year, but didn't set seed. Maybe next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted May 25, 2003 I remember that talk And the photo. The plant was quite straggly but tall. Has anyone been back to see it since then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

t st tantra Posted May 25, 2003 any idea if this will suit southern climates more than iboga? t s t . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted May 25, 2003 voacanga is certainly hardier than iboga - by about 10 degrees!! The one in sydney was still there last year and is doing OK. The seed bearing age will depend on climate. In the tropics I would think second or third year for first flowers and the seed the year after. Voacanga is not comparable to iboga though. better off growing tabernaemontanas.

gomaos Posted May 27, 2003 I have a plant/tree in my backyard which could be voacanga, maybe one of the 70+ seeds I once planted was good...I can't tell by torsten's pictures and cn't find any other pics on the net...I brought a twig to the last ethno meeting in Brissie but no-one had a clue what it was...hey I got a camera now, I'll take a pic today...strange tree that haven't seen one that looks like it anywhere else ....
