Hi Rich, and all,

Let's see if I understand the situation correctly:
someone tried to pull D. capensis out of the ground?
Well, they may have likely have left roots. These
roots will sprout, oh say, 100 plantlets per foot if
left in the ground for a week or so (low germination
estimate!). Has anyone gone back to see the carpet of
new plants that has probably spread like wildfire?

The good thing about this species is that it does an
excellent job of reproducing from any means given;
leaf, root, and seed all propagate so easily.

I doubt it is all gone.

Bruce
