Lagunaria

Post by Max »

Do you have 1? Just took one home from the nursery so any methods/ tips would be well received. I think it needs to be at least a 800mm to a 1 m tree to incorporate the 6cm flowers, so maybe a 200mm trunk with a 250-300 first branch. Roots look like a good nebari can be achieved.


So if you had/have 1, let us know what you thought/think, and I'll so you mine in 5 years :whistle:

My dad had one of these as a street tree. They are considered a weed in most of Aus. Worse than that they can be very itchy so wear gloves when working on it. I was told its like fibre glass you can't see to remove the fine hairs?? From your hands when they itch.
