This may be the sweet smell of success – beautifully fragrant white flowers on the curry leaf tree

Is anyone else getting odd euro signs and accented letter "a", in this post?

I can replicate it if I change the character encoding from Unicode (UTF-8), as detected, to Western (ISO-8859-1); the "offending" character is the en-dash :

Ive already got some stem cuttings rooting (fingers crossed) the leaves are still on but no new shoots yet - but after studying a little about these plants they could take 3 weeks to root and put up some fresh leaves. Then the seeds will be put in as soon as they dry as per all the references at Kew gardens etc. The seeds are poisonous too so will be handling them with gloves.

Do you have access to homone rooting compound where you are ? I have found this very useful in persuading stem cuttings to throw roots, although it is by no means a guarantee and some species (e.g., ginger) seem very happy to throw roots with no encouragement at all other than water.

I got some hormone rooting compound sent out from the UK. It has worked for many species and it is doing OK with the curry leaf trees at the moment . However that could change, hope not!
