Re: I LOVE my Great Expectations!!!!!

Morning sun and lots of water have worked wonders for my GE. I'm finding it to have a fairly decent growth rate when it's happy.

Thanks for your help,

Re: Is this HVX?

Thanks Chris.
The pot had 4 plants (not eyes) in it and I divided them up to give them more space. One of them it fine, one has a couple of leaves with this problem on it and the other 2 have one patch on 3 of their 4 leaves.

Is this HVX?

After much searching last season I managed to find a Liberty with 4 plants in the pot. They had a bit of this damage last year but I thought it was just the hard life of a retail plant. This year the fresh leaves are exhibiting the same cell collapse. I've read that if it was frost damage the collap...
