Nor, will I!!
I am amazed we got this far into this thread before the dreaded serissa came up! I had sworn off them, but was tempted to try again by an expert. Only difference was it cost more!
As for other trees, I have no idea how many... mostly very small. Part of the process of learning what species work for me.
The more important ones seem to perish for two basic reasons: Trying to do too much too soon, and pushing the limits of the tree.
(For example, since I saw how Soli Rosade kept ficus and jaboticaba in low light areas of her home, I've been experimenting in a winter without artificial light - btw, she keeps them outside in shade during the summer to reduce their need for light. So far, so good, but I'm NOT trying this with buttonwood.) Results with Ficus have been very good, jabo, natal plum, and brush cherry, okay (These are under a skylight.) A garden potted bougie is doing just fine in a west window - it would be better if I could get rid ot the d*** Christmas tree!
