Brug Leaves

[Bob]

In the spirit of Kris's 'biggest leaves' series of threads, I thought I'd start one for brugmansia leaves.
I know we grow them for the flowers, but they do form some very large leaves too.
I'll kick off with a twenty incher, I'm sure theres a two footer out there somewhere.
Come on Kris, you know you wanna.

My first year with these Bob and i'm afraid my six inches doesn't measure up to yours Got a flower tho..........

[Dave Brown]

Very impresssive , I think more to the point, your leaves are deep green. I questioned Jase on another topic about his leaves being deep green, and his feeding programme was very intensive. What are you feeding yours on?

[Bob]

Feeding every other day Dave, cycling between liquidised chic poo, growmore with a splash of seaweed, and tomato feed now I see a few buds. The days in between I'm watering (rainwater). Growing medium is, 40% MPC 40% bagged farmyard manure and 20% perlite plus a few big handfuls of BFB.

Mark, Don't be shy let's see that flower!

I haven't really measured the leaves on these Brugs lately but they are pretty big!

I will have to sneak out there and check when the neighbors aren't looking

Both plants are somewhere between 6-7',so there might be some 20" (+?)
leaves on there.

They look pretty big from here Jim.
I've given up worrying about what the neighbours think a long time ago, although we get on well with both sides, they think I'm beyond saving.
