Speedy says... I have grown Cananga in pots in the past but never expected them to mature and flower in them. You'd have a better chance with it if you plant it out , OR try to get C.odorata var.fruticosa - the dwarf variety. If you were to plant it out and didn't want it to get too big. you could keep 'topping it out' , pruning the vertical growth and try to keep lateral branches going and within reach. Cananga , like coffee , only flowers on lateral branches, so they're the ones you want to promote. another option is to get one of the other 'YlangYlang' plants, Desmos chinensis is a small grower, Melodorum spp. (there are native ones in rainforest understorey) , Rauwenhoffia spp. They would take some tracking down , but might be a better option for a tub. For Melodorum spp. , you could try rainforest nurseries. | About the Author Nth Vic 28th November 2009 10:39am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
