Shawn,

The one I sent you is an 'S'. I have a 'T' but it will be a couple months before it blooms.

It's interesting, for me Arborea seems to grow for a couple months, then it just stops for a month, then it grows for another couple months, then stops.

Nice Matt! thanks for sharing :)
Arborea is on my wish list..I would love to see a pic of the whole plant if you could post one, please?
How old is she? How big is the plant right now? Do the Arboreas have a scent?
How is she with the beasty lil pesties?
Inquiring minds want to know :)

Daniella,

My camera is not with me at the moment. I'll try and take more pics tomorrow.
I got the cutting in late January '08. It took about a month to root.

The plant stands about 3 feet tall. It has a new flower open on it today. Today's flower is smaller than the one pictured above. It smells kind of like Gardenia's. The old flower was done in by the weather. It was 80 degrees one day, rainy the next, and cold, dry, and windy the next.

As far as pests go, I haven't had any problems. I think I have seen one caterpillar hole the whole time I've had it.

They seem to be very hardy plants once established.

Matt..mmm..gardenias! nice! Thanks for taking the time to try and get another pic, no rush :)
Sorry to hear the weather got the best of the last bloom.
HOw did you root it, soil? RH?
Thank you for the info! :)
