    Gardnerianum, Tara, and densiflora are the only ones that flower for me early enough, having said that I've ordered a new variety, to me, this year, griffithianum.

    Bonemeal/Growmore/Chicken Pellets

    I remember from when I was a kid, in the videogame minecraft, if you right click with the bonemeal on a small tree it will instantly become a mature 10m tree. So use it carefully!!!

    I bought a couple of these. The first season after planting, the leaves were completely demolished by caterpillars. Rather put me off replacing them.
