So did you cultivate these Brian, or are they naturally created by the bees?

Karen they are hand pollinated they don't seem to set seed often without help ,my location probably does not help they each get only several hours of sun a day they then close there flowers tight until the following day two problems the trees limit the hours of sunlight and the number of bees I see on them is very small at this time of year.
In other words if i want seed I have to be a busy Bee.
And of course there is a 12 month wait for seed to germinate.and a further 5 years to flower

You have so much patience Brian , and did all these different colours come from one original plant / seed.. or from many different plant / seeds

Your patience is obviously a virtue and the results are a delight to see!!
