Comments (14)I recently purchased one of these Crossvines,"Dragon Lady" (gal container) at Home Depot for seven dollars so you might want to check your big box stores for availability. It had several vines of about 24-30 inches and has been planted a week. It already has put out several new 6 inch shoots! I expected it would take a while for it to settle in before it began showing any growth. Currently, the days here are running high 90's to 100 yesterday with high humidity and the planting spot gets about six hours of mid day sun. I amended the soil with oak leaf mold/compost and then top-dressed the root ball with leaf mold to try and keep the roots cooler in this heat. My thanks to the original poster who provided the lovely photos of this vine. Mary...See Morecrossvine not blooming
Comments (3)Named cultivars of Bignonia capreolata such as Tangerine Dream bloom here at California nurseries at 3 foot tall in one gallon cans. I've never grown seedling Bignonia capreolata, but ones I've seen here don't compare to this cultivar, which where I've used it blooms from March into late May, and scattered repeat bloom in summer. Worth looking for. Otherwise, bloom fertilizer with no nitrogen is generally good advice, but perhaps too much shade is the culprit, also....See MoreA few questions regarding Crossvines...
Comments (8)Hi there my question is about the cross vine's ( Bignonia Capreolata ) ability to withstand heat. Im looking to plant a Tangerine Beauty crossvine next to a young Shamel Ash tree, or adjacent to it, so it grows up the trunk of this young tree and protects its bare trunk from the sun, in adition to the white paint covering the trunk of course, which is standard practice out here to protect their trunks from being fried in the heat. Anyhow, regarding the Tangerine beauty vine growing on the trunk, it should be a symbiotic relationship, hope it works, but my question is will the Tangerine Beauty withstand our HOT Phoenix summers? and What about competition with the young Shamel Ash tree, is that a concern? Thanks to anyone that might know, best regards to all!!! :)...See Moreghoghunter
