We found ours in the adjoining lot which we dubbed The Meadow. It was a volunteer that I was excited to find. So it's six-plus years old at least. But it IS growing. Keep me posted on your seed project!Sheryl Smith-Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707017321692698815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8567299696963524925.post-48751623417599139652012-02-26T11:44:40.913-06:002012-02-26T11:44:40.913-06:00I was doing some research on propagation of mounta...I was doing some research on propagation of mountain laurel yesterday and found this interesting article. <br /><br />Texas Mountain Laurel, Sophora secundiflora<br />by Bob Harms<br /><br />http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~harms/MtLaurel.html<br /><br />A quote from the article:<br />"Mountain laurel is a slow grower, and it may be years before flowers are produced. In our hill-country environment it has taken at least 10 years for untended plants started from seed to bloom."<br /><br />Think I may start some this year and see if it works!Curtis Freasierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11003063182533878310noreply@blogger.com
