 This is 'Strybing Peach.' I purchased a small plant from the San Francisco Botanical Gardens at Strybing Arboretum about two years ago. I am trying to limit the plant to 6' tall. |

| Haven't seen this one before Potemup, it's probably a cultivar with one of the parents being f.denticulata, the botanical garden didn't give you the name of the other parent plant, did they?, or did they say it was a seedling from f.denticulata, as seeds very rarely come true to the parent plant - Kath:) |

| The petals are yellow...intresting! I want it, would they do it in the U.K. You do know that that fuchsia is gall mite resistant. |

| There is an excellent article on Fuchsia and Fuchsia mite in the July/August/September 2006 Pacific Horticulture by Pamela Pierce. Here is a portion "Work with Fuchia splendens has created such hybrids as 'Strybing's Peach' with a peach tube, green-tipped sepals and pale yellow petals. This has an irregular growth habit and such heavy flowering that its vigor is reduced; however, it is quite rare to have any yellow on a fuchisa blossom. In 1940, San Francisco horticulturist Victor Reiter introduced Fuchsia 'Fanfare', one or both parents of which would now be called F. denticulata ..." I got my plant at Strybing and it was labeled as denticulata. I try to keep it in check at about 6', but it really wants to get much larger. The tallest I have had any shot was about 12'. It is very vigorous and seems to start easily from cuttings. It is a bit ungainly. I am trying to keep one as a standard, but I am not being attentive enough to be very successful. It needs very regular pruning. |
