I started several Orchid Trees from seed. I gave all but 4 away. Having no place in my yard (why?!) I planted them in the forest hoping they will grow up tall so I can see them flower over the fence. 2 took, one is struggling, and one died. It doesn't get full sun in the understory of the forest but enough to keep it growing. I go back there and cut away the vines that want to grow on on. I feed it. Water it. But it is still just 3 feet tall.
