Murdannia loriformis. First time growing murdannia. This plant was successfully tested in thailand for its anti-cancerous properties. In clinical tests people who took this plant had a significant reduction of cancerous tumours. Unfortunately this plant comes from thailand and is therefore not so easy to grow in temperate climates. It will and does grow in a polytunnel, no problem, but when temperatures drop it stops to grow and you have to keep it indoors over winter. To treat yourself against cancer with this you would need large amounts of plant material rendering the practical application of this plant very difficult unless you have a frost free glass house with a lot of space. In trials people drank the freshly pressed juice of this plant and it was effective in combating cancer. But like i said if you wanted to do this yourself you would need huge amounts of this plant growing in a frost free glass house and it might not help against all types of cancer.
I weeded all my malus sieversii trees and i lost quite a few to what i believe was a combination of deer, rabbit and rodent attacks. I think i lost between one fourth and one third of the 426 plants i grew from seed. I discovered some visually very amazing and different ones in two of the six seed batches. I singled out several unique ones that i planted in my polytunnel to grow them properly. I didn't have the time to protect the 426 as i would have liked to. All trees of the 4 other batches have basically green leaves. Here is one example. This is a very nice green leaved one. And another green leaved one. Already these two are different in leaf colour and shape. But i selected them from the batches where all had green leaves in order to be sure to have genetic diversity. I kept 18 seedlings in the polytunnel that contain some of every batch. The following ones are very special and unique and display many variations of red and green and even other colours. One seedling with nice
