Thread: Redbud or Dogwood in Tropical Zone?

Yes, I agree with you, it's just that always exotic is more beautiful than common, and for us, your trees are exotic, and our tropical trees are common. But you are right, I'll look for some other option. Thanks a lot...

Much better to look for local adapted tropical trees. Try e.g. Bauhinia, Jacaranda, Tabebuia, for good flowering trees. Resin

Those aren't really heat and humidity tolerant trees even in a temperate climate but your big problem is going to be not having enough chill hours to break buds in the spring. Taking them into the southern hemisphere where you are approaching spring will virtually guarantee this.

"Taking them into the southern hemisphere where you are approaching spring will virtually guarantee this." What! They've moved Venezuela into the southern hemisphere!?!? I hadn't even heard. LOL ---------------------------------------------- I agree with Resin. Why worry with redbuds and dogwoods (even if you could figure out a way to keep them) when there are so many beautiful and interesting tree species available there?...
