Beautiful Nancy! I grew some one year and while I absolutely adore this plant/tree, my yard was much too small to accommodate it. Mine got to 10-12' tall. They were disease/insect free for the most part and remained gorgeous throughout the summer. Fall arrived too quickly for seed to set which was just as well cuz I would have been too tempted to grow it again LOL! I'm such a sap for a good looking man....I mean, plant.

I think these are just gorgeous, but huge. Is there any way possible to keep them a manageable size, or would it just be too difficult? I want one of these and a cassia fistula (the yellow one) but I have somewhat limited space.

Hi Anyone else growing Cassia roxburghii?? Red cassia. Have two remaing started from seed in 01 that limped along until this year . Has grown more in the last year than it did since sprouting lol, Is this a tree ,bush eventual size and when should it flower?? seems to be getting a single trunk which suggests it's going to get MUCH bigger. Now about 15/15 and seems to have somewhat of a weeping habit. Looks much like the above pix but MUCH finer leaves and single trunk. Has yet to flower for me so no flowers of course. Can't find much info on the net particularly about habits . It's growth rate is beginning to scare me a bit. and bot plants are only 3 feet apart. Much to late to move them I'm sure .. Thanks for any enlightenment you can share. gary

Have canna seeds to trade
