Climber ID'd as Fallopia baldschuanica by Oron Peri
« on: January 13, 2017, 02:34:49 AM »
Any ideas what it is? Would it be good for mediterranean type climates? I took a cutting but by the time I got it back to rome it was looking a little worse for wear. The photos were taken at night on an Ipod using flash so not perfect, I'm afraid.

All advice gratefully received, as always. :)

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.

David it is Fallopia baldschuanica
It is growing perfectly under Mediterranean conditions but needs irrigation from time to time during summer.

Thanks a lot Oron. Good to hear that it will grow here. Now all I have to do is get the cutting to root. It is indoors during our current very cold spell.
