I have a very nice Castor bean plant growing in my backyard. the trunk is
7-8 inches in diameter. As with all Castors it develops the seed pods, which I normally cut off before they have a chance to dry and open. It occurred to me that I have heard that there may be a way to stop some plants from fruiting or going to seed somehow( some sort of hormone?) Can this be dome with a Castor bean plant?Thanks Brandon
Why not just pinch off the flowers?
I do, the issue being that many of the flowers are beyond my reach without some very complicated balancing on top of a ladder with an extended cutting tool.
Oh, I see. In that case, maybe one of these solutions will work for you.
Nitrogen.
Ok, that is a start, in what quantities? Thanks
Castorate it. zemedelec
THAT was funny !
Not much. A handful of the cheapest brand of lawn food you can find, every three months or as needed, should work.
Thats it? Thanks Brandon
