Down with Delta Dawn

Brugmansia Delta Dawn was a vigorous grower for me and loved to show off her large over-sized yellow blooms.  During the couple of flushes she had this summer there were so many blooms that the branches were touching the ground.

A couple of weeks ago I was ready to pollinate some of her flowers and I noticed what appeared to be stem blight, the scourge of brugmansia growers.

Delta Dawn is now history.  I chopped her up, tossed her in the dumpster, and sanitized the garden tools used in the massacre.
