Title: Turning Hibiscus into trees
Post by: Nievesgirl on September 24, 2009, 03:57:26 PM
I was not sure if this thread should go here or not. But i was curious about how do you make hibiscus grow in a tree form? I have seen braided hibiscus trees and it fascinates me.

I have had the pleasure of seeing hibiscus this big in my area  :o

Kerry, that is the coolest hibiscus tree I have ever seen.  I would like to make one of my cv's into a tree as well, but I am so quick to pinch new growth on the new ones I get, that I get such good branching and am out of luck with the tree.  Should learn to leave one or two alone!
