Four of my Budhas and one Tabebuia Cariaba had few blooms each. They are about four years old. I hope to get good blooms this November.

It is said that Royal Paulownia reaches 12 feet in its first year if planted in the ground.Also, I have read that it starts flowering in it's second year only.No local experience so keep your fingers crossed.

Arif Sahab,

From where did you get Michelia tree? I have been searching for this tree for a long time. Also ordered some seeds from USA but they did not germinate.

Amaltas is among the most beautiful trees- I had planted two trees. It has been 5-6 years and there are no signs of bloom. One lovely addition would be Molsari (Mimusops elengi) or Haar singhaar (Nyctanthes arbortristis). Bauhinia would be lovely as well.

Adnan, the Royal Paulownea that you gifted me is now in ground about 3 feet high and leafless.
Farooq, I got the 4 inch seedlings of Michelia Champa from Bagh e Jinnah Lahore.

Charosia
Is that the botanical name? I couldn't see this in the net and would like to see a picture.

Then another question : from where could I obtain seeds from Curupita? and how are the seeds to be done?

Thank you in advance,

greetings
