Brugmansia grafting pictures, species. etc.

Brugmansia seedling shown grafted to mature stock from flowering region.

I've posted these pictures to show that you can handle, cut on, and otherwise work with Brugmansia without wearing gloves. I do however, advice against rubbing your eyes.

[Wakinyan]

Wildfire, one of my other favorites. I'll stop posting pictures for now as I know many of you have much better in your collection. I assure you, I have much better in mine as well. You never post everything.

Yeah im not much into grafting.  I like to let things be the way they naturally occur, but what is it used for anyways?  

I heard sometimes certain diseases and like nematodes attack roots of a particular species so its better to use a different rootstock.    Or it makes a species hardier like to cold?  

I guess I heard peyote grafted onto San Pedro makes the peyote grow alot faster.  

A cool thing I heard onetime is that you can graft datura rootstock onto tomato plants.  I wouldn't advise eating the tomatoes though.    

I heard then you will have hallucinogenic tomatoes.

Hey kundalini

its probably polliantion

they need cross polination, and because they are so easy to propagate by cuttings
often only one clone lives in a large area

you need two different B suaveolens nearby and then you will prob get lost of seeds

[Wakinyan]

Two different genetic specimens are indeed required for pollination to result in seeds. Thus, one needs two different suaveolens such as a pink crossed to a yellow. B. suaveolens will also cross to B. versicolor, B. candida, B. insignis, and even B. aurea.
