Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Caring for my stick garden?, 0 by frogsrus

While I have the experts online, one more question. This is the base of tropical sunset. The plant is about waist high in a 5 gal pot. It did this once before and I carefully cut back the extra foliage but it has all come back and more. I was hoping to turn it into a tree. Is this one just a plant that wants to be a bush or do I keep trimming the base until it gets the hint? The main trunk is getting nice and thick. If it is a bushy critter, I have a place for it where it is welcome to do that too.

V. Peach is very happy in the ground and this one will go in as soon as I hear from you.

You are right, kell. No frost here. Just once every few years or so. Where are you in N. Ca? Dad is in Napa.
