I had to clear out all my pereskiopsis spathulata due to an intractable mealybug infestation. Sorry - don't have any for trade or sale.
It took me forever to find some, now I have too many. If any Canadian gardeners out there want/need some of these awesome plants, pm me....
Hi Lorax No, it's toast. I (gently) dug up the root and it's dead/brittle all the way to the ends of the roots. But thats ok - now I can use...
Those seeds all failed to sprout, except one which died shortly after sprouting. However, I kept at it and now, a few years later I figured out...
