Title: LARDIZABALA BITERNATA
Post by: steveit on December 12, 2014, 09:11:40 AM

I'm looking for 2 plants of lardizabala biternata (zabala fruit) chilean climber, anyone can help me?
I know that the lardizabala is not dioecious, but to fruit needs cross-pollination! :(

I would have expected La Casino de Lorenzo  http://www.lacasinadilorenzo.com/ to have it Steve. You could ask them. However, when I was trying to place an order with them by e-mail, I did not have a reply. You might do better to phone them.
If not, then Roseland house in Cornwall list it. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk/index.htm Try there.

You could also try to grow them from seeds, Chiltern seeds sells them (http://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_762p_lardizabala_biternata_seeds).

Thank you for informations, I hope that the Roselanhouse nursery has yet lardizabala plants because it is rather difficult to germinate the seed! :(
