Has anyone grown Casterbeans? I remember my Mom growing these while growing up in Northern Illinois. I'm going to try them here. She used the goat manure from our goats and they got very tall. moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic ( photo / image / picture from okietriker's Garden )
I had one growing, but it's life was cut short by Hurricane Rita. I wasn't too sad to see it go since they are so poisonous (and there were kids and animals around). But it sure was pretty.
I grow them, too. When the flowers fade, I cut them off and dispose of them before the beans form. Don
I grow them too. The are nice plants, very tropical looking. Only the seeds are poisonous. I actually had trouble with the deer eating all the leaves off mine! Very easy to grow from seed.
I grow them also. They are very fun to watch grow because they grow so fast. Last year mine got about 10-12 feet tall.
I love them,especially the red leaf ones. I've not found them to deter moles,though.I think they give a tropical look around my pond. Doris

They are pretty plant. I think it was castor oil my GM(Tried) doctoring me with- can remember running fast.
