WANTED: Have: Texas Mountain Laurel Sophora secundiflora
Comments (2)Hello again, I am interested in your Texas Mountain Laurel, living in Texas, I'm fairly sure they'll do well here. :) I have some new things since we last traded that hopefully maybe you might be interested in. I'll send you an email. Thanx. Brandy...See Moreworms on Texas Mountain Laurel
Comments (10)They are probably "Genista" caterpillars. It's a moth, and the caterpillars are unlikely to do permanent damage to the trees. Management: No management may be required on mature plants as the worms rarely consume enough foliage to damage the plant. However, young and/or newly installed plants with a small canopy may need to be protected. Handpicking is an effective control in small gardens.

Comments (20)I have a night blooming jasmine that puts out a branch or two every year that has that interesting very flat shape. It blooms as well as the other limbs. Back to Texas Mountain Laurels: I did prune mine in summer 2010 to remove the leggy falling over limbs. It has a much better shape, now, and is blooming profusely for the first time is years. Mine does not get much sun and usually has only a couple of small blooms. I wonder if the drought helped it. But I know much of its root zone was watered by my neighbor's sprinkler system (it's almost on the property line), and they didn't change their watering habits....See MoreTexas mountain laurel
Comments (6)Thanks everyone for the laurel information. I have so much fun collecting seeds and cuttings when on vacation and then attempting to get them to grow. It's so rewarding when they do, but frustrating overwintering them in our cold climate (we need a much bigger house at this point). I was thrilled to find live oak seeds on the Alamo grounds, put them in a Baggie and set them aside for awhile. When I got around to checking how to plant them, I found out that a certain worm supposedly affected a lot of the seeds, and sure enough, when I checked my seeds they all had the worms in them. I actually had hope for getting one of them to grow here. Oh, we'll, it's fun anyway. Thank you so much, Marcie, for your seedling and seed offer. At this point I think I'll just wait to see what happens with this plant and not worry about finding a place for another plant this winter. I may take you up on some seeds if this one doesn't make it. They are so pretty when bloomimg....See Morearizonny
