Thank You Very Much, Ginger Price |
| Ginger, Shaving Brush Tree (Pseudobombax ellipticum) is a tropical. It cannot take a frost or freeze and loves warm conditions and good soil drainage. Water periodically to wet the soil well and then allow to start to dry out before watering again. Give it a bright sunny location. Fertilize lightly with a soluble plant food at the low constant feed label rate during the spring and summer months. This species is listed as being available from the following source: Native Habitat Landscaping http://www.nativehabitat.com Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon! |
