Chilean Fire Tree/Bush Embothrium coccineum
When I planted mine 4 years ago it was about 18 inches tall. Now it is
about 7 feet tall. Any idea when it might bloom. It seems to be an evergreen variety, at least here. TIA -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8b Sunset Zone 5 |

The message
from "Mark or Travis" contains these words: When I planted mine 4 years ago it was about 18 inches tall. Now it is about 7 feet tall. Any idea when it might bloom. It seems to be an evergreen variety, at least here. It is evergreen, and should do well in a mild damp coastal area. There are some spectacular examples on the west coast of Scotland. The smallest I've seen in flower was about 12 ft tall, but no idea how old it was. Janet |

Oooooh, I am SO jealous! I planted mine about three years ago, it was about
a foot tall. Now it's only about 2 feet!! Maybe it's getting smothered in all the rest of my jungle. With the size and time in the garden, yours should bloom in mid- to late June, depending on the weather. Mine should bloom in 2005, if I'm lucky. Have you ever seen the Heronswood one in bloom? ohmygawd!! pam - gardengal Mark or Travis wrote: When I planted mine 4 years ago it was about 18 inches tall. Now it is about 7 feet tall.

I first saw them in bloom at the Washington Park Arboretum and knew right then I had to have one. The whole tree looks like it is on fire. I haven't done anything special to mine just watered it and used some generic rhododendron fertilizer. It doesn't even get all day sun. I hope you are right about when mine might bloom. I stopped by Swansons last Tuesday to talk roses and after talking to your rose buyer asked about you but you were at a workshop or something. One of these days we will meet. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8b Sunset Zone 5 |

Ah yes, the two day "managers retreat". Do come by again - I'm typically there Tuesday through Saturday. Great bunch of seminars and classes being offered this season and a wonderful sale starting Feb 21. We plan to have some pretty cool new plants available this season - worth checking them out. I'm a little curious who the "buyer" was you spoke with, since the real nursery buyer was with me at the retreat.............:-) pam |

Maybe it was Monday I was there anywho I'm pretty sure she was a buyer or maybe just the rose "person" that was there that day she was going to give me a list of the roses you will have for sale but there was only one copy and it had some mistakes on it. -- Travis in Shoreline (just North of Seattle) Washington USDA Zone 8b Sunset Zone 5 |
