Beginner Gardening:Pruning Esperanza - Daves Garden My Esperanza grows 8 feet high or taller, but it’s always drooping so I’d like to train it to grow more upright After Houstons freeze, it’s time to cut back dead limbs it’s already growing at ground level I’ve tried staking it with the tall green garden stakes but it isn’t strong enuf
Gold Star Esperanza in Zone 7b - Daves Garden It has put on an amazing show for years It gets absolutely no care and only rainwater It was planted around a water rock feature but the guy who bought the car wash a few years ago turned off the water feature and does no upkeep, weeds waist high, but the Esperanza has come back every year -- except this year I guess the freeze killed it
Will the Gold Star Esperanza root from cuttings? - Daves Garden btw - I took the softwood parts from the Esperanza for rooting A few of the trimmed branches were a bit wilted before I even considered trying to root them, so I got them in water asap and then selected the better looking ones and only took the soft tips from the ends of the branches
Tecoma esperanza yellow bells has not leafed out. . . . These do leaf out late for me, but I've been disappointed with the 'Gold Star' version of this plant I had excellent luck with both the West Texas Tecoma stans and the tall Tecoma garrocha (Orange Bells) in the thin caliche dirt of my old house at Canyon Lake, but they just aren't thriving in the blackland prairie dirt in my new house near Driftwood Austin
Is the honey produced from Tecoma stans pollen poisonous? - Daves Garden I dont actually know this answer, but I do notice that honeybbees arent attracted to my fall blooming esperanza, bumbles are, but not the honeybees They arent really attracted to my basils either like the bumbles are A hot dry summer the honeybees have to be distracted from my hummer feeders, so I change around my hummer hangers
