Rooibos

hi! i was wondering if we could grow rooibos in india? any suggestions? thanks ankit From what I understand the plant requires very specific soil conditions and climate. That doesn't mean that you *can't* I should think, however you would have to find an area with a close enough match for the plants to thrive. What those conditions are I cannot say with specificity, but I would start your research with the following links as starting points: http://www.developtechnology.com/web...view/18766/31/ http://www.american.edu/ted/riobas.htm http://www.environment.gov.za/HotIss...urg_ 2005.pdf good luck! -- HTTP://www.sushifaq.com/ The Sushi FAQ ...((((º HTTP://www.sushifaq.com/sushiotaku/ The Sushi Otaku Blog HTTP://www.sushifaq.com/sushiyapedia/ Sushi-Ya-Pedia Restaurant Finder HTTP://www.theteafaq.com/ The Tea FAQ HTTP://www.jerkyfaq.com/ The Jerky FAQ HTTP://www.omega3faq.com/ The Omega 3 Fatty Acids FAQ

Rooibos
I doubt it, unless India has an exact growing condition for rooibos as
in Cederberg. When I visited the botanical gardens in Capetown, we were lucky 2 have the director with us & I asked if he could point out a rooibos plant 2 us at the garden. His reply was that there wasn't, as the plant could not grow anywhere else except in Cederberg mountains. Attempts were made 2 cultivate the plant in Capetown & elsewhere, but they all failed. It would be great if India could cultivate rooibos too... All the best! kevo

Rooibos
Given human ingenuity and injection of a little cash you can grow
anything anywhere. While with Unilever Research I successfully grew a few plants of Rooibos to maturity in a greenhouse in Bedford, UK, not exactly Cederburg Western Cape conditions. Albeit this was 30 years ago but the problem we had was getting hold of seed - its export from South Africa was forbidden and we had to resort to a few grams stolen and smuggled out in a sock.
