We have 20 new seedlings growing. 6 are 3 times the size of the others. 2 have VERY dark red trunks..I've never seen this before in a seedling. The seed pod came from one of our 2004 seedlings (yes we are Grandparents! haha) and had the following was blooming around her..Kaneohe Sunburst, Irma, and Hurricane!!! We can not wait to see what comes of these offspring...if we can get a deep red that is locally bred we will be ecstatic!! Strap on your seat belts for this one ! as we will know in just 3-4 years!

I'm bad at growing seedlings, my germination rate is quite high so I stopped growing them. I currently have 75+ or maybe more growing and I'm afraid to get rid of them, just in case one is the "special one" . Some are now over 2 years old. I kept some in small pots so they don't grow too big too fast. Especially if I have to wait 3 to 7 years.
