Especially the orange flowering Polyacantha, is there anyway I can obtain a pad cutting of this plant? I can pay for postage or trade you for another pad cutting of a beautiful non yellow flowering hardy Opuntia from my own collection. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Weikel III Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:17:22 +0000 http://blogs.scottarboretum.org/gardenseeds/?p=1476#comment-23270 Hello Andrew. I picked up Cinnamomum chekiangensis at the Fall plant sale (planted it within a few days) and recently noticed that the bark has split (and essentially separated from the plant). This is almost complete on the trunk and working it's way up the branches as well. The entire plant is protected by chicken wire, so I am assuming that this happened naturally. Is this due to the cold? Do the think that it will survive? Any information would be greatly approciated. Thank you. Hello Andrew.
