Just discovered you guys on a Sunday morning sitting in my glorious garden in Brisbane. I’m propagating one of my favourite garden plants (my “signature” garden plant) the Brugmansia and thought I’d listen to some relevant RUclips while I do it. I just used an angle grinder to cut the bottom out of a huge urn shaped terracotta pot and now I’m filling it with soil and about to plant one of my Brugmansia cuttings in it as a feature garden tree. My experience is when planted in pots they eventually send a root through the hole at the bottom and block it and drown themselves. This way they can send their roots down through the bottom of the pot and into the soil underneath. You guys are great! I’ve now subscribed and I’m a new fan.
IMO, the two of you are the most entertaining duo in the plant realm on YT! You educate with relevant plant information and entertain with a bit of much-appreciated humor sprinkled here and there. 💚
Beautiful plants! I particularly love Brugmansia sanguinea - my favourite flower! I have a plant that has been passed down from my great grandmother via suckers. Incredibly hardy, and survives mostly ok in far south Tasmania, despite winter frosts and summer heat.
Just discovered your videos.... so I'm a year late with my comment, but I live in an original colonial farmhouse in rural north-island NZ, where there were old plants of the tropical double-white brugmansia, as well as the sanguinea one from Sth America. The white one was so battered and gnarly, in its sunny but gale-prone spot that I have shifted it down the hill where it is sheltered by trees and north-facing - and it goes wild. Also I've put in the tropical apricot ones with variegated leaves nearby, and they are enormous, and flower incredibly well if well-watered or there is plenty of rain. Thanks so much for your interesting videos. I am loving your trips through old gardens, because my garden was planted in 1856 by the typical Scottish gentleman, with a large arboretum and a little fernery. We don't own the old arboretum, but it's still on the wider farm - gone wild. And I'm restoring the tiny Fernery, as well as the rest of the colonial garden. Thanks again.
I grow yellow going to orange Brugmansia and a white one. They die back in our zone 7b winter here in MS. Love seeing yours. I mulch over the woods stems in our winters here in US.
Beautiful trees. I love them with their lovely scents especially at night One of the easiest plants to propagate I live in New Zealand and in winter they wouldn't look too great so woukd chop it back I had a orange one called butterscotch and man it grew so fast I couldn't believe it
I love it when you guys pop up with a plant I have. I have mine in a pot... After seeing the yellow one in the ground I must find it an outside spot! Thanks for yet another entertaining vlog!
Oh you two are hilarious! It’s wonderful to laugh and learn at the same time about plants 🌱👌 I didn’t know rhubarb leaves were toxic, I grow it in my backyard for making jam!
I have been looking for this video for years, and I just have to comment: I grew up in south of the US, where B. suaveolens is quite common. I now live near Seattle Washington US, a whole different gardening world. B. suaveolens will grow here, but it wants the most heat you can give it. I have completely forsaken B. suaveolens for the high altitude species B. sanguinea, B. vulcanicola, and B. arborea. We tend to stay ( usually) cool in the summer, but we do have occasional hard freezes. It is for this reason that I grow mine in large(30” diameter) pots on wheels. My regimen is to roll them out on days where the low is forecast to be 38f degrees or higher ( for a couple of degrees of safety). They stay out day and night unless close to frost is forecast. My sanguinea is blooming now, and is pruned into a standard - just as you suggest. The vulcanicola hybrids are stunning- especially ‘Vulsa Suncrest’ ( Annie’s Annuals US source). It does seem a bit reluctant blooming, but I recently discovered another vulcanicola type ‘ Red Dancer’ ( Logees US source). It is much more free to bloom with brilliant red/ pink flowers and is not so upright. My plants do not bloom in summer, and I move them to the north side side of the house to rest at that time. As evident by some comments here, and most of my personal experience, most people cannot remove these species from the tropical types;and , as a result, most people have less than satisfactory experiences with them. I would go so far as to say that culture of the highland species is untenable in most of the US due to high temperatures/ high nighttime temperatures. Only the west coast ( coastal CA, OR, and WA) seems to suit them. Even in those areas, virtually frost free areas are suitable for in-ground culture. I suppose anything is possible with enough effort, but even here it is an almost Herculean job to keep them happy. It is, however, a labor of love. These are my favorite plants out of my collection of thousands. Thank you so much for this video
Fabulous to hear from you and to get your personal experiences with these plants. I must say I am jealous of the range of types you have obtained as many of these would seem never to have made it to Australia. Regards Stephen
Yeah these particular brugs are really 'subtropical highland' climate plants, and other than the CA coast from Santa Cruz to about Brookings in Oregon, we don't have many places in the continental US that can support them. At least in Seattle you have the cool nights in summer they need just to survive. I tried 'Red Dancer' and it seemed to languish (a fancy way of saying slowly die) in my summer heat even though it's supposedly only 50% B. sanguinea. 'Charles Grimaldi' remains my favorite Brug and grows just fine as a summer annual here.
Have 2 in the south east uk just started flowering 3 weeks ago. They're 2 years old and was kept in the shed through last winter... Hope you had/have some luck with yours
Your videos are very informative, and full of interesting facts and tips. Thank you for another wonderful video. You both are doing a wonderful job. Already excited for the next one :) I would love to know your thoughts (in a future video perhaps), on Composting, different soil mediums and nutrients / fertiliser.
I bought a plant at the end of last season called Datura angels trumpet. It produced a few yellow flowers and I was able to save a walnut sized seed head. I am growing some this year from seed and will keep in pots. I am in Wisconsin so it will be an annual for me.
It’s hard from your lack of detail to suggest what is wrong. perhaps you could let me know where you are and what conditions are like where you are trying to grow it. Regards Stephen
Tks for the information. I have a yellow angels trumpet plant grown in a 42cm diameter pot. After few years, the plant grows to almost 5ft tall but only have few leaves on the top branch. The trunk is barren. Occasionally there are a handful of flowers. The position is in shade, not much sunlight, and I water it several times a week. After seeing from this video how beautiful this plant should be, I guess I have done all the wrong things. Would appreciate helpful tips on how to bring it back to life.
I would like to know what climate you are in to be as useful as possible. But it sounds to me like it would do better in the ground if it will survive the winter or cut it back by two thirds in spring and repot into a larger container. It would also appreciate more sun I'm sure. Regards Stephen
Your sanguineas are just fabulous. I grow one in the border of my greenhouse but am now nervous it will undermine the foundations as the roots extend right outside. Of course they probably grow more as I hack the bush back at least twice a year. Can you believe, I got a few fruits this year despite only having one plant!!! It is a real beauty. Thanks for the great video.
Tomato leaves can't be toxic because our wild rabbits eat my tomato plant leaves and the deer do to also the potato plant the deer eat them off and the deer are fine .
I really appreciate the quality of the content on your channel.There is nothing like it on the internet. I live in Wahroonga Sydney, with a microclimate that would be perfect for these brugmansia.do you do mail order to Sydney?
I can send plants but it is fairly expensive as my stock is largish. if you are interested in following up give me a ring on 0354263075. Regards Stephen
Fair enough Stephen, I have your number if I choose to go mail order. I’ve enjoyed discovering these rarely seen plants on your channel and look forward to learning more new plants.
I have heaps of these as well as white ones and we do live in a frost zone here in Millicent SA. I would love to get the red one. I have the yellow and the pink also a double white one. My neighbour is not fond of them because they grow along his fence line and drop stuff on his side and he thinks they are poisonous to handle. Thanks for info.
I don’t have any at the moment but you should be able to buy Sanguinea from a mail order nursery which could include Whitehouse at Ashbourne in Victoria. Regards Stephen
Bollocks, pardon my French ! When you get their juice on your fingers/hands and rub your eyes afterwards, you're in for a treat ! Better safe than sorry: wear gloves when handling.
I am always careful not to rub my eyes after pruning anything and I had Brugmansia in my garden for two decades with never a problem. The worst I've suffered was from Euphorbias. I will pardon your French this time. Regards Stephen
I have this flower angel trump and during winter i put it in the green house and i took it out now and theres only two sticks remaining. There’s no sign of growth, do you think its possible for it to bloom this summer?
@@zoc3478 Depends where you are - have a google - not that common but rare plant seed specialists, etsy or ebay could be a good place to look in the UK and US. In Australia I've only ever seen the plants for sale at rare plant fairs and specialists or Stephen's nursery! Good luck! Matthew
I've got a question. I have a few trees on my property. I don't know what kind of trees they are. I would love to have one near my fish pond. I have pictures on my Instagram page. I hope you can help me out.
Dear Tiffany, I have been in and had a look at your Instagram images and the trees look to be Cornus alternifolia. They are certainly a Cornus but the images aren’t quite clear enough to pin it down with complete certainty. Regards Stephen
Can you guys help me? I'm really panicking over here. I've adopted a supposedly yellow flowering Brugmansia and it's about only 15 cm high right now with 4 leaves and 2 two teeny tiny leaves. It's a young plant, I adopted it in a hurry and it's planted in this plastic yoghurt pot. It's the beginning of October 2021 now. How do I care for her throughout autumn and winter 2021? Help!

this is most likely a true Datura which in your climate will be an annual. Here it can be weedy, sadly
I have White Datura and they self sow every year. 7b MS
I have two including one bought from you, interesting to know more about the taxonomy and general growth habits, thank you
A pleasure. I hope you feel we covered everything you needed. Regards Stephen

It is EXTREMELY hallucinogenic
Never tried it!
Don't
We have lots of Trumpet plants that look like these, but they come in pink and white. Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
They are probably the more tropical Brugmansia species
If you have them in a pot, they tend to get thirsty, especially on north wind summer days.
They certainly do need lots of water or you will pay for your neglect!
