First bloom of the season (finally) here in New York!! Very excited as this is the second year of blooms for this 5 year old plumie.

This info started in July...how long does it take for you guys to get them to bloom?

I tip my hat to you. Hats off to those of you who manage to bloom these tropical plants in a generally unsuitable climate!

Here when an inflo starts it takes usually about 6 weeks till we see the first blooms.

We tend to see our first blooms in early April, and then we get a time in the summer when the first flush is done and the trees get busy making leaves. Now we are having a second flush starting. I nearly always still have blooms at Christmas!



These are Christmas blooms ('Marengo') in 2015.

Thanks Hetty!! I assumed the blooms came a little later due to the weather not being ideal!
