Grafted pseudobombax

[Expectorating aubergine]

Hey all! Long time lurker, second time poster 👋 I previously posted about attempting to graft baobab on to silk floss root stock. While the few attempts I've made have not been successful, my previous experiments with pseudobombax scion material continue to do well. I got three successfully grafted. I gave two away to friends that live in different areas (one by the beach and another in the desert, im near the foothills). So far so good though! If I find a good spot to plant it I can see how big it will get....

The P ellipticum can get large. Up to 40 feet. They generally are much smaller if trimmed.

It is a beautiful tree and the pink blooms are spectacular. It is more cold hardy than expected and has taken temperatures down to 19.4°F.
