just getting settled in here in Va Beach, feeling more comfortable doing tropicals in temperate zone.. hope to add them to my collection once again. The Texas Ebony has similiar characteristics ..  |

I have a thornless honey locust, Gleditsia triacanthos inermis with what appears to be the same type of small, opposite leaflets. I would suspect you can prune to shape sorta like a hedge? True? |
Hi Sauce lol, No nudity in the garden any more I'm afraid...The weather has turned real nasty, its freezing here with the thermometer hitting 23 C today...I spent a good 1/2 hour looking for my smelly, mouldy winter cloths this morning...found my thermal ski underwear and it worked a treat!
As to trimming? I just shorten the branches and leave all the set of leaves I can on each branch...Nothing special really and they can be made to look like a hedge, although I'm not familiar with Gleditsia triacanthos? I'll do some research.
Thanks for stopping by!
