Wow! That is LOADED! What a shot. I hope you aren't hanging out a window! Can't wait to see them open. According to the plants database, the blooms look a bit like a lilac. Thanks for the picture! We don't have emperess trees around here.
No, I wasn't hanging out a window. He! He! That made me chuckle! Being in Texas, I lassoed a limb with a small rope and pulled it down some so I could take the photo. This tree is planted in a yard belonging to a neighbor and a friend with whom I taught before I semi-retired (repair computers for a school district now part-time). The blooms are a beautiful lavendar-purple. He has purple wandering jew and I believe purple salvia planted in a bed at the base of the tree. It is a nice combination. In the neighborhood next to mine is a huge specimen. I am glad this one was short enough for me to be able to access the flower buds.
No, I don't have seeds right now. As soon as the tree makes seeds, I will collect some and send them to you. They will not be ready to collect for quite some time.
