| Positive | PCVTX8b | On Feb 10, 2006, PCVTX8b from Houston, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: I have been able to baby this plant in my zone (9a), but it has taken a couple of hits and lost the lead trunk. There are a few spikes on the remaining trunk and small ones on the main limbs. I get a fantastic showing of white flowers in late October. | | Neutral | plantluver123 | On Mar 15, 2005, plantluver123 from Lacey, WA wrote: if anyone has a couple of seeds that they could give to me. i really love this tree. in my opinion its pretty. | | Positive | bubsgarden | On Feb 4, 2005, bubsgarden from Miami, FL (Zone 11) wrote: This is a great plant- if you want a wierdo, that is! It does not have dense foliage; actually hardly any leaves at all, and is grown for clusters of 1/4"-2" thorns on a bright green trunk. I have been personally trying to find a small one of these to grow in my garden, and I recommend it for a place in the garden in need of a eye-catching tree, but where shade is not necessary. Definately a POSITIIVE! | | Positive | palmbob | On Jul 22, 2003, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Like its more popular cousin, the pink Floss Silk Tree, this one has a green and variably spiny trunk. This species almost always has a very spiny trunk, while you can find many C speciosas with smooth green trunks. C insignis also tends to 'bottle-up' more than the other species (see photos). It is commonly used in xeriscaping as a bizzare interest point. |
