It flowers on the trunk and older wood. A beautiful tree when in flower. I would find some pods with seeds in and sow some. Not all pods contain viable seeds. Pam in Bristol |

Ive tried many times with no success, i've tried fresh seed, seed left on the tree until now but nothing !!!! I must admit that every time I've tried, its from the same tree in a clients garden so maybe this tree just doesnt produce viable seed !! regards, Lannerman. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- lannerman- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm afraid I don't go for Judas Tree, the pods and the stems they are on look to long and the stems to lax. I'd go for Robinia if it is in the UK. I've germinated several different Pod seeds gathered in Malta and other places. I treat them as I do all hard seed and pot them into Hot water, (Not boiling), this expands the air inside the seed case, and as the water cools the air left shrinks and water is drawn inside the casing, I leave them overnight and sow the next morning.

David @ the normally wet end of Swansea Bay, now in the 6th day of drought. I still say Judas tree David, but I'm not as familiar with robinia. Having grown a Judas tree from seed and grown it for 20 years, I sadly had to get rid of it as it got too big. I see those branches as an old friend, pods right, twig formation right, wood the right colour with the greyish bloom. We can't see all the tree, but the habit of this one is a bit strange. OP, any chance of a photo of the trunk? Does robinia have flowers up the stems in the same way? Lannerman, I've not used David's hot water method, so maybe that's why only some of the seed I've sown has germinated. After I had mine cut down I found a self-set seedling, but it didn't survive the first hard winter, 3 years ago. Pam in Bristol |

This must be a tree which shows cauliflory. This is true for Cercis (not necessarily C. siliquastrum) but not for any Robinia. Cheers Gotthelf -- http://www.wolmershaeuser.de |
