I have two of these growing in my front yard. I got them as seedlings and have moved them twice in the past year.

They put out seeds everytime they bloom. The seeds are soooo easy to germinate. You just take one entire seed pod, shove it down into a 6" pot of potting soil and within a week you have germination. Sometimes one seed in that pod will start up and later a second will pop up. I have seen 3 shoot up at once from one pod. I think someone has been walking their dogs and pulling seeds from the tree as they go.

These are very easy to grow and easy to share.
