Of my two whole cucuzzi plants, one has reached the top of a cattle panel, and it had three flowers today, which I am sure the rain has knocked off by now.
The flowers are delicate white ones. Quite different from the ginormous showy yeloow flowers on the Tromboncino plants.
I can’t wait for blooms on the Trombetta di Albenga and the Cucuzza! The Cucuzza is doing well - the shade cabana worked just great and it’s growing and adding leaves. I flipped the ‘roof’ of the cabana up so it now gets more than morning sun, but left the seed sack up to block the strong afternoon sun. In a couple more days, I think the whole thing can come down, in which case the Cucuzza will have access to the wire and should be big enough to climb.
The Trombettas are growing at least a foot every couple of days - it’s incredible to watch them!
