Pride of Barbados from Seeds
Comments (4)I had three of these beautiful plants in S. Texas but moved to Arkansas, (hard to believe it but same zone)! I know they make a lot of seeds, but mine were too old by the time we found a permanent home. None of them came up. Does anyone have some seeds from last year that they would part with? I would be glad to pay something for them, and the postage....See MorePride of Barbados seeds
Comments (4)Hi marcie, I got the seed off ebay, oliverklozeoff is the seller. He is located in Barbados and he has 100% positive feedback. I got 10 seeds for $1.99 and shipping is $1.99. I ordered other seed from him and he only charged me $1.99 shipping for all. Mary...See MorePride of Barbados Not Blooming
Comments (7)No, this was no mimosa. It has yellowish orange blooms similar in look to POB, but was really a huge tree. The trunk itself had a 3-5 foot circumference. If you ever get to Granbury, this tree is west of the square, in a neighborhood near the school bus depot. It has green branches and part of the trunk was a green color also with what appeared to be thorns all over the trunk. I never stopped to ask what it was, but saw one last spring at Stewart's Nursery for $99. I need to make a road trip and get pictures :-) I think it is a palo verde tree.

Comments (13)Hello new_in_texas: Thanks for the pictures, mine look exactly like yours except for two or three that are really taking off. The Red Bird of Paradise is one of the Pride of Barbados colors, that's the most common to acquire. The pink and yellow seem to be more expensive even just for the SEED. As far as your answer on 2 ft per year I'm looking at a long time before they mature then I suppose. I was planning on taking them out of the pots and planting them next Spring. Runjbells: Thanks for your response on the Cherry Barbados. It sounds like the same growth rate on the Pride of Barbados. As far as the winter, from what I understand they should resurrect come spring. I am growing my seedlings in the house until next spring so they get a good root base then I'll let them try to brave the winter next year. Did you just plant the seed in the ground? I tried putting a few seedlings outside but when two burned up from the heat I brought the survivor back in. It still hasn't fully recovered, I may lose it. Still on the learning curve on these and trying different things....See MoreTom Wright
