It’s 15 years old (from seed Ellen Hornig started at her excellent Seneca Hill Perennials) and about 15 feet tall, and no sign of flower buds yet. They’re famous for taking about 20 years to bloom from seed.

It’s very frustrating: I’m pinned down and couldn’t move if I wanted to until it blooms. 🙂

Anybody know how to promote bloom in Davidia?
