Ice Cream Bean Trees
« on: August 29, 2018, 02:36:26 PM »
I have a couple of Ice Cream Bean Trees available for anyone in the St. Pete/Clearwater areas
willing to pick up. They are 2 years old and stand approx. 54' high. PM me if interested.


I still have one plant to give away.

I am in AZ, but, I was wondering how long it takes them to produce their pods?  Mine  has to be at least 5 years old, gas grown like crazy, but never flowered.

Yes

I see, so this tree really likes that special pot with airholes....

Not sure. I read somewhere 5 - 6 years.

It seems to; however I did cut the other one back as it had forked.

Andrew, mine have been in ground 4 years and it flowered for the first time this spring. None turned to fruit though.
