| I've been wanting to trial this gorgeous blue flowering tree with spring blooming hibiscus-like flowers. Not really possible to grow in most of the USA climate zones coming from high elevation cloud forests in southern Mexico into Guatemala. I picked up a 6 foot tall sapling at the University of California Berkeley Botanic Garden's annual fall sale. I'm not finding any information on how mature the tree needs to be before first bloom. It comes from the same habitat where the Monkey's Hand tree/Chiranthodendron grows. I hope it wont be years before I see this bloom, similar to the 10 plus years I've been waiting for the 35 foot tall Chorisia speciosa or the Tabenuia impetiginosa.
I suspect no one else on this forum is growing this? |
