Hi guys, I had to cut my C. gilliesii way back before it formed seedpods, and I may actually pull it up and take it out. It was dropping way too much litter on the front sidewalk, and DH asked that it be removed because of the mess. If it will grow back to be more compact, it can probably stay because the litter won't quite reach the sidewalk again, but if it grows tall and lanky and over the sidewalk again, then it will have to be dug up. The other Caesalpinias don't seem to be quite as large as my C. gilliesii got to be -- at least not yet. C. gilliesii gets to be the size of a small tree.
