All reviews for category Araujia

Plant still being sold 2 years after being informed and you censor negative reviews. Reported to INPN of Hérault and gardening companies. From now on, I will boycott you and on this occasion, I realized that you are ultimately just unscrupulous web resellers. It is much more beneficial to buy directly from the producers.

Why persist in marketing this plant that is invasive because winters are mild, there has been no frost this year in Montpellier for example, and it poses a risk to the pollinators that you yourself mention? There are so many other plants to offer, this tarnishes your image.

I see that you persist in marketing this plant. And you're not one to shy away from contradictions: in the description, you state that it is hardy up to -5°C (23°F), and in your response, you say that it is frost-sensitive. This plant is causing a massacre among the pollinators in our regions that are not adapted to it. Just like the Asian hornet with European bees (Asian bees know how to defend themselves, unlike European ones). I will contact the museum to have this plant listed on the INPN's list. As far as I'm concerned, you've lost a customer.

I disagree with your response. The strain can survive for a few days at temperatures as low as -5°C (23°F) and it produces seeds. More delicate species have survived outside at my place for 3 winters. Furthermore, while some insects from the original region may escape, many insects from our region do not. With insect populations having dropped by 85%, do you think it is intelligent-necessary-useful to commercialise this type of variety while waiting for its inevitable prohibition?

Ugly, invasive plant that destroys pollinators. I used to appreciate you, but it's a scandal to market this kind of plant that destroys biodiversity. Unethical trade.

Nothing to complain about

This plant has two major drawbacks: it is particularly invasive, and in my opinion, its main problem is that it causes the death of a large number of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. Attracted by its fragrance and nectar, they become trapped in the flower and die. It is actually prohibited in many countries. Therefore, it requires very careful monitoring to remove all fruits before they mature.

One planted in the ground and one in a pot: both have grown well and withstood the frost. However, the blooming is timid... a few small flowers that smell like honey; I am waiting for spring to see what happens next.

Fantastic climbing plant, I am delighted with this purchase. I highly recommend this item. It is planted in the northeast and is thriving.

Hello, I greatly appreciate your website, as well as the quality of the plants I have been able to order from you, but I don't understand how you can sell a plant that is so dangerous to pollinators, and therefore to our ecosystem!
