When I first came across this beautiful hibiscus tree, I knew that it would give off a fresh scent this time of year. What I didn’t know was how long it would be in bloom before I could get to it before it got all over my kitchen counters and floors. I was blown away by how well the tree held on to its leaves.
With an array of amazing hibiscus bushes sprouting in the garden in front of my house, I finally got to see the bloom.
It almost seems like a miracle that this shrub actually gives off its own scent. The leaves turn from green to yellow and brown to orange, then ripen in the afternoon and fall to the ground. The blooms are so large that they fill the entire plant and there is a very strong scent that is the most pleasing aroma I have ever smelled. In fact, I am planning on doing a whole blog post about this. It’s a very pleasant scent.
I got to see the blossoms this year, and they were beautiful. The flowers are not too different from the ones I grew in the garden, but now I really want to cut it down and plant a new one. The new one will probably be bigger, and I’ll buy that new one at least once a year.
For some reason, I think I’m a little obsessed with hibiscus. I’m not sure why, perhaps it’s because I grew them in my garden once and they were so pretty. Maybe it’s because I have a large hibiscus tree which has more blossoms per square inch than most trees do. Either way, growing a tree of this size is so labor intensive that it makes me wonder about the wisdom behind the idea.
I have no real answer to this question. I don’t think there are a lot of trees worth growing, but if I had to guess, I’d say not very many. There are a lot of trees that make great containers for climbing, but I don’t see that as a great use for a tree. A tree that grows in my yard may have its own use for me, but I doubt it would be a great use for the tree itself.
To grow a tree of this size, you would need to spend a lot of time planning and growing the tree. That sounds like a huge amount of work and I would expect that to be a major obstacle for people who plan to grow the tree into a home. Not to mention, you would need to do a lot of work to insure that the tree was a good match for the rest of your home.
I think there are a lot of trees that are good for other things that aren’t for the tree itself. For example, a lot of my favorite trees go to another tree. A large magnolia with a smaller tree growing in it. I love it when you can grow a large tree with a smaller tree growing alongside it. A large magnolia is a great tree for creating shade, a tree that can climb up and down a lot of the hard surfaces of a home.
The other reason I like magnolias is because they are large and can spread a lot of shade, as well. They are also great at making a great, healthy windbreak for the house (and for the garden). A tree with a big tree and a small tree growing alongside it can be a great balance for the house. A tree with one tree and the other tree growing next to it can also create a lot of shade, as well.
A braided hibiscus tree is a wonderful tree for creating shade, but it can also be a major hassle for the homeowner. Because of its size, it can clump up in a bunch, and it can be difficult to trim. It can be a major chore to take care of. It can also act like a weed, and may take weeks to a month just to pull it up. So I think it’s best left as a last resort.
