5th AUGUST 2017: ANNUAL ONE DAY SHOW
Annual Show Project
Members have been asked to grow a fuchsia round a spiral shape using a 5” pot and approx 2ft finished height.
The fuchsia needs to be grown round the shape tying in with nylon stockings as you go, which doesn’t cut into the stem of the plant.
Side shoots which appear can be tied in at each leaf axle , as well as the leader going round the framework will thicken up quicker and you will get more flowers. This is to be judged on cultural proficiency and doesn't need to be complete or flowering.
Spiral about 2 ft high, 5" max pot. Approx measurements.
If you do grow one, please bring it along to the show and see what the judges think!
