Comments (6)I vote cassia fistula. I raised one from seed in the past on another property. The mom is at one of the public libraries in Sarasota and is spectacular in full bloom! It's a keeper, Mark. Hope it gets more cold resistant as it gets bigger. Anna...See MoreCassia Fistula seed set

Comments (8)Hi Grant. Thanks for those pic I just love C.Fistula. They have just pretty flowers Great pics too. I miss all those beautiful flowering trees from the North. Marion this answers your question. I have two C.Fistula trees here grown from seeds that I bought down from my trees in Townsville in 1999 I planted the seeds in little pots ( going back through my gardening diary ) in feb 2002 and they germinated in Sept so it must take 6 mts or brissie is too cold then maybe I planted them at the wrong time of the year. They have a big seed and sit in this brown sticky stuff I think they are know as the cascara tree??? so maybe that is what it is. Mine are not doing too well, it could be the weather, mind you with all the new growth at present every morning I go out and get 50 or more caterpillars off both trees ( Light green ones that eat the cabbages ), they are always covered in them and I find if I get all the 1mm ones off by the dozens they dont get to grow into the 5mm ones a couple of days later, hubby comes along and squashes them in the leaves and ruins the foliage so I am at the point where I may have to buy some thing to spray them with, just to give them a fughting chance. They have not grown much in all that time about one meter, maybe it is too cold here as I have never seen one anywhere but I like a challenge. So yes you will not have any problem growing them from seed.....Cheers..MM....See MoreAndreamarie78
