Lupinus nootkatensis is black listed here in Norway (invasive). In Iceland, I’ve heard that some work has been carried out on low alkaloid varieties (I’ve just been in touch with an Icelandic researcher about this). This is very exciting to me as lupins represent probably the best cold hardy perennial bean!! More later!
Have you heard any more about the low-alkaloid Lupinus nootkatensis?
No, I’m afraid not! I never received a reply to my request for more information from a scientist in Iceland! I’ve just sent a new request. Will let you know if I get a response!
