Gardenia Help Needed
I was fortunate to stop by a grocery store "garden center" right after they had received a shipment of gardenias and had mismarked them at US20.00. I spotted this one from across the the parking lot!
The tree is 26' tall and the nebari is 5" across. the only problem with it is that a few inches above the top of the photograph the trunk begins a noticeable inverse taper.
Question 1: Can I cut off the trunk and get new growth?
Question 2: If so, how long might it take to have sufficient growth to have blossoms and begin training? I live in Heat Zone 6.
