Name:Jeffrey Lewis Email:K-u@comcast.net Location:Ft. Myers, fl Homepage:None Zone:10 4 Feb 2012, 5:50 PM	I purchased this tree from you last spring. It is blooming for the second time. The tree, is covered with 5.5 cm. yellow flowers every morning This has continued for a month or so and there's no sign of slowing down. The flowers last for a day and drop in the evening. It does produce an abundance of small seed pods. The seeds sprout in 10 days or so in ordinary potting soil. This tree certainly deserves to be used more widely in south Florida.
