Silphium Cup plant/// Deer find it very tasty!

Araucaria araucana are hardy to at least zero f but cannot get them past about a year. The moment the warm spring rains show up the root rot burns them to a crisp. The most rot-sensitive plant I have ever tried to grow. Finding hybrid seed or high elevation angustifolia seed would be appreciated.

Is it true that some variegation comes from a virus ???? My loquat here in GA never fruits which I wish...in Statesboro while in school we got great fruit in the early 80's..
