Hi Dutchlady1,

I thought I got my plant ID wrong again but Tropical Zone Gardening lists Tecoma Stans as also Bignonia Stans or yellow bells.
I decided to follow Metrosideros advice when I posted on DG how to best manage this plant...and he said
" Tecoma trains into a hedge very nicely and flowers nearly year round. New plants can easily be started from cuttings."
I still have to prune mine , though, and train them into a hedge.

I also have some crown of thorns , the big variety as shown in the picture, but I decided to just put them in pots and not use them as hedge because the thorns are awfully horrendous...worse than bouganvillas.
