Looking good, Marcelo!

Pots should keep them small for a while. When I finally put mine in the ground, they really took off. I`m have to trim my trees even though I have a 12 foot ceiling.

Here`s a couple of photo from last year of what I`m growing "indoors".

Delonix regia "Mutant Yellow"

Colvilla racemosa

I just got a rooted yellow cutting off of eBay recently. I got two 'Mutant Yellow' grafted ones from Puerto Rico two years ago but one didn't make it through this past winter. The other one is leafing out fine.

Is any part of this legumious plants edible at all? I believe I saw one little orchard in here with one of these leguminous plants, but not sure which one.

Wow, your Colvillea really looks like a winner, Gary. Was it trimmed to induce branching (or conserve greenhouse space)? I'm wondering if there is a chance this species might even thrive outdoors in your area.

Patusho, I'm not sure about Colvillea and Schizolobium, but I've read that the pulp around the seeds of immature pods of Delonix regia are actually edible. I haven't tried them myself, but they are supposed to have a sweet, gelatinous texture and in parts of India (and elsewhere), are a reserve food source in times of famine.

Marcelo: I see, I will give it a shot tomorrow and will how does it taste.

Hi Marcelo
I'm growing Delonix regia, from seeds I brought back From Venezuela, IÂm also growing Tamarind, Acacia and Enterolobium cyclocarpum.

Marcelo, I am not growing them indoors but I did get one of the Colvillea seeds you sent me to grow. I am deciding if I should plant it out now or wait until I return from Spain in September when it will be a bit bigger but there will be less months of rain to get it going. I went ahead and planted out the one Bolusanthus that came up hoping that getting it in the ground will spead up its growth. I saw a couple in So Cal last month that were still small after 15 years. I guess they will like my climate better than there. chris
