Ovais

This a native plant of some Latin American country and the common name that
I know is "Candle Tree". Of course its botanical name is "Parmentiera
cereifera". The beauty of this plant is that, unlike in other plants, its
legumes grow upwards like Candles. Where as all legume like fruit or seed
pods dangle downwards.

Hi Everybody

About four years back I bought a Candle Tree plant from Ratna Dave

in
Mumbai. I was training it into a simple informal right style. One

fine
morning, in a storm blew up and the upper part above the first branch

broke
up. Over a period of time, the first branch grew about a meter long.


I
trained it into a beautiful Cascade style with very good rhythmic

fall.
But
sadly it neither flowered nor the fascinating Candles appeared over

it.
Can
anybody tell how should I stimulate it to bloom and produce Candles?
