Hybiscus trees?
The local Wal-Mart has what appear to be hybiscus trees. They are
in 3-gallon pots and stand about 4 feet high. I was thinking about getting one, but would like to know first what will happen to them. Will they grow taller? If so, how tall? Will they need a lot of pruning to remain as a tree? Any info will help.

You dare question the oracle of Wal-Mart?
Have no idea what you are calling Hybiscus trees based on your detailed description and the botanical name of the species. "Suzie-Q" wrote in message ...

I bought 2 hybiscus trees, but not from Walmart. They will grow taller
during the summer. I'm assuming you will bring them inside over the Winter. You have to prune them before you put them out in the Spring. You also have to remove low volunteer shoots so they remain as trees, not turn into scrubs, which is the natural state of hybiscus. |

Enough already.
You know what they say about people who ASSUME!!! Just because Suzie-Poo can't spell that doesn't mean you need to be dim too. The genus is spelled Hibiscus but the plants are not necessarily of that genus. She never said it was Hibicsus syriacus, H.rosa-sinensis or any other actual Hibiscus. So you don't know if you have what so does or not. "Fred K Meyer Jr" wrote in message news I bought 2 hybiscus trees, but not from Walmart. They will grow taller during the summer.

Hospital administration keeps reminding us that these surgical outfits don't grow on trees. |

Actually, I was thinking of planting them in the front yard. I'm in central TX, zone 7 (or 8), so it doesn't get very cold here in the winter. Usually. -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ |
