Im going to try to establish one of the lesser forms to tree culture this spring.

All the cultural information I've found says to give them a dry rest in the winter. It seems like mine are always producing new growths and there is never really an opportunity to give them a dry rest. They bloom nevertheless, though not on every growth.

Ron, Andy P has listed it on his website for $50.
As for blue Catt go, most of them don't have nice color.

Whew! $50 is quite a bit, but I don't remember what I paid for mine.

The price for the var. coerulea is a higher than the normal pink form. I agree $50 is a bit too much for just a blooming size seedling, but if it is a good clone, $50 is a good price.

I would agree, though I don't know if I'd pay it.
