Stop a Castor from seeding?
I have a very nice Castor bean plant growing in my backyard. the trunk is
7-8 inches in diameter. As with all Castors it develops the seed pods, which I normally cut off before they have a chance to dry and open. It occurred to me that I have heard that there may be a way to stop some plants from fruiting or going to seed somehow( some sort of hormone?) Can this be dome with a Castor bean plant? Thanks Brandon |

Why not just pinch off the flowers? |

Why not just pinch off the flowers? I do, the issue being that many of the flowers are beyond my reach without some very complicated balancing on top of a ladder with an extended cutting tool. |

Oh, I see. In that case, maybe one of these solutions will work for you. http://www.flying-contraptions.com/ http://www.spacekids.com/spacenews/jetpack_000814.html |
