    Scott you really got to make up your mind where you want to move to roflmao

    LOVE YOUR Pictures of your Beauties. Is that a Pencil Plant behind the Hibiscus? I THINK it is called that right? I mean now I can ask and hope to get the answers from you too lol. Barb sure has it nailed lol. Shipped one of those home from Florida and wonder if the morning sun is a ok for it?

    Brenda................................LOL Glad you found someone who has something you really want to trade with :-))) But you are on my share the Hibiscus list with Brenda. Even if it will take you a few years to get there lol

    Thanks Scott

    Great pics. I love the close ups of the foliage. Is the Clerodendron minahassae fragrant? Is your mango grafted or seed grown? That's one of the few tropical fruit trees that I can get to produce in the greenhouse.

    Karyn - CM is extremely fragrant...and Sticky...!!! The mango was an experiment for Jordan. Three years ago when she was only five yrs. old..we planted a seed I had washed, cleaned, and dried from a Stop & Shop Mango(local grocery store)...currently its potted in a 10" terra cotta pot..it stands 16" tall from top of soil...has a dozen leaves(more coming of the top)...the stem is as thick as a Sharpie marker. Any suggestions and/or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Joyce - Spanish Limon, came from Logee's - one of Jills top 5 favorites...we also have a 'Ponderosa' Lemon, Mini Orange-Calamondin(not so mini anymore...Over 3' tall and 6' across the top)...I did my first air-layer on this plant this year...still attached to momma, I'm to chicken to cut it off...but this too will be listed on ebay, Key Lime(Used for our Corona)...Kumquat 'Meiwa'(Currently in bud and Huge...!!!)...Fathers day present a couple years ago and a Meyer's Lemon.
    All container grown in New England......(No Greenhouse)...LOL!!!

    You might very well get fruit from the seed grown mango in 5-8 years. It might taste good it might not but that doesn't much matter. I just think it's fun to grow them in our zones. Maybe you want to trade some Clerodendrum cuttings sometime. I have several varieties but my favorite is C. philippinum. It has the most wonderful scent. The one I can't grow to flowering is C. quadriloculare and I really like that one. The foliage grows ok but in 4 years I never got blooms so I got rid of it. There's a few at the local conservatory and they are so cool looking in bloom and they grow like damn weeds in FL.

    Karyn,

    I'm sorry, just got around to reading this post....absolutely... I'd love to send you out some cuttings. Just pm or email me with addy...I'll even root them now for you and ship them as it gets a bit cooler. They root fairly quickly and easily...
