My question is "does anyone have a Hollier and Guilbeau and if so, do you think they are the same? Thanks in advance.

I would have to say that out of all the cuttings I have ever started the Hollier wins by far they root some crazy spaghetti roots and quick. Also the Hollier wood is different than any other I have seen personally its lighter in weight and not as woody looking if that makes sence. __________________ Toronto, Ontario Zone 5B/6

Hollier roots easily & they are excellent. Productive too. My original source is from Adriano.

Cecil, Walker is a BT, basically. Hollier and Guilbeau don't look the same, here, and have different leaves. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Thanks Jon, In fact thanks to everyone that has replied to this thread! Like I said earlier, I had a nice Hollier from J.R. but I did it "in" Luckily for me a very nice, did I mention very nice member emailed me yesterday and thanks to him I am going to have some Hollier cuttings soon........I don't want to name him yet as my source because I haven't asked him was it OK! Again, thanks everyone.

I was out of town, and didn't see this thread till it kinda of went "south" a little. (No offense to my southern friends.) So I edited out a couple of things, which I don't really like to do. Let's keep it just a little less personal. Thanx. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere

Don't feel like the LONE RANGER JON, There was a LOT of damn things said I didn't LIKE One thing I have learned is a certain member can fly off the handle, say all kinds of things in the heat of the moment on THIS forum, and 1 hr later send a private email saying he is going to delete the falsehood crap he posted.......I got no respect for that kind. Delete this to if Ya want, your the boss

I understand. The point is still to stay on your "handle" and not make it personal. __________________ Encanto Farms Nursery http://encantofarms.com http://figs4fun.com http://webebananas.com "pitangadiego" everywhere
