Tsusiophyllum (Rhododendron) tanakae

[Rodger Whitlock]

Anyone growing Tsusiophyllum?

Many, many years ago I saw a potted plant of it in a local plantsman's garden, but with his death it's probably no longer in cultivation here.

Hi Rodger,  we grew it for a  few years in a pot, even had it on the showbench a couple of times but it was a bit diasappointing as some kind on insect made a hole in all the flowers to get to the goodies.

Rodger , after 30 years my plant of Tsusiophyllum tanakae is now about 80 cm tall and a little
 leggy , rather too tall for the Rockgarden .-must renew by taking cuttings , it is such an easy
plant to grow.
