ShortieD starts with ... Hi there - my neighbour has a tree that suddenly all the lorakeets in the neighbourhood are very attracted to. It's just been the last week and half - they've been out there everyday making a racket. I think it's a drunken parrot tree. We've never had them there before (I've been here 5 years) and the tree has always been there but they've never flocked to it like this. Can someone tell me how long this tree flowers for? It's driving me crazy. Cheers | About the Author ShortieD Annerley 4th October 2016 8:32am #UserID: 14700 Posts: 2 View All ShortieD's Edible Fruit Trees |

brad16 says... Hi ShortieD, I found a reference here http://www.themorningbulletin.com.au/news/flush-of-colour-and-noise-gardening-lifestyle/1562790/ saying that 'The flowering period is from late September to early October ...'. So I'd guess it flowers for a couple of weeks? Wonder if BBQ'd lorikeet could be a late Sept - early Oct delicacy? Good luck. Hopefully it'll be over by the time you read this. | About the Author brad16 GOROKAN,2263,NSW 5th October 2016 7:18pm #UserID: 14079 Posts: 175 View All brad16's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Saw this Drunken Parrot Tree in the gardens yesterday that was in full bloom. I'm growing a couple of these trees, Schotia brachypetala, that are about 7 or 8 years old and 5 metres high in full sun, but they have never flowered. Would like to hear from those growing them how long they take to reach flowering age as I don't think mine should be much longer now. Thank you.
