'Salcombe rosemary'
This is the (somewhat contentious) rosemary I was trying to ID some time
ago. Having had some computer problems sorted, I've found the pic of it. I've checked with several gardeners and with a few nurseries and it's only ever known as the 'Salcombe rosemary' round here. As you see, using my car as a scale, it's immensely long and was also trailing across the tarmac of the drive and has to be cut back! It's very tender and seems to survive only in the mildest sea side gardens round here. I've emailed a pic to Olivier Filippi both to see if he can ID it and if he'd like some cuttings! http://i1.tinypic.com/6c6mufk.jpg -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I remember down in Virginia seeing a large rosemary plant in a sheltered spot in front of a book ship, which the owner said had been there for a number of years. They're predicting mid-60sF today, so hopefully I'll start sticking garlic cloves in the freshly rototilled bed.

And the green-eyed monster rears his head again! Just lovely. It really is amazing! I just wish it would get through winters here. I'm thinking we're going to have to build a wall inside a greenhouse just to grow that. ;-) At my location, NO rosemary is winter hardy. I started a few from cuttings to winter and cook with indoors. I remember down in Virginia seeing a large rosemary plant in a sheltered spot in front of a book ship, which the owner said had been there for a number of years. Yes, many others will survive here. We're growing one in our garden called R. 'Marenca' and it's another lovely one - prostrate but with bits that sort of go off in their own direction! It's nothing like as long as the Salcombe rosemary, though. They're predicting mid-60sF today, so hopefully I'll start sticking garlic cloves in the freshly rototilled bed.

That was true even for me before the last decade or so. My garden is a wind trap, and the combination of -10 to -15 and a steady wind is too much for such things. But, recently, no problem - though I couldn't grow that. My current rosemary and thyme problems are root rot. The soil may be free-draining, but that doesn't help if the wet doesn't let up, and is combined with occasional moderate frosts (-5 or more). Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Puke, why have you deliberately tried to twist this thread? You really are an utterly tiresome little sniper. If you've got nothing to add apart from making feeble attempts at points scoring, just keep out. Anyone with less than an ounce of common sense will see that Sacha's follow-up is entirely consistent with previous postings. Why have you deliberately called me by this name? I have posted this link not to 'twist' but to show Sacha's inconsistencies, indeed. She had said in February that Olivier couldn't identified the rosemary. She also said she had approached many local nurseries, including Burncoose, and now said that Olivier can't identify it again, two days ago, including other local nurseries. Are the owners of the property still not in after 9 months?! Whatever answer you come up with, I'll ask you nicely not to abuse me, nor threaten me. I do not write to you in this way. |

I would love to be able to grow this variety but it wouldn't survive our winters (nor much of Spring & Fall).

Yes, a grapefruit grown from a sprouting seed that one often finds in the fruit. I planted two but the other plant started to exude a resinous substance from parts of the stem. I asked this forum about it but it seems no-one knew what could cause it so, to be on the safe side, I chucked it. The one on the left is a bay laurel. I understand there is some dispute as to whether this is the European or the Californian variety. Either way, the leaves have a very pleasant smell. Graham |
