Question

How do I plant a trumpet bush?

Ninox

Top Answerer

Plant the bush in the fall or in the spring in a sunny place. It's also better if the bush is protected from the wind.

Question

When should I prune to get rid of brown speckled leaves in Arizona?

Ninox

Top Answerer

Brown spots on leaves are often caused by insects like aphids. See if there is such an insect on your plant and act accordingly.

Question

My Tecoma stans was damaged by a hard freeze. Should I let the leaves fall, or do I need to prune the frozen part off, which is the top 1/3 of the plant?

Ninox

Top Answerer

Tecoma Stans usually recover very quickly in the spring. If the leaves falland it doesn't recover, it may be dead.

Question

Do yellow bells lose their leaves in winter?

Community Answer

Mine goes dormant for the winter, returning in spring. It requires very little care, just occasional watering. So far, the deer haven't bothered it either.

Question

Can I train my tecoma to grow into a tree?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. I did this - I planted a hedge of 10 little orange bells and after a few years I decided to make the first one a tree. (I got the idea when I saw an Oleander groomed as a tree.) I had not tried anything like this before. I just cut off all but three 'trunks," all the limbs under 6 foot high and all the suckers. I get suckers every year at the base but it doesn't take much effort to remove them.
