Erythrina Crista-galli

Yes, I should have said I wasn't cutting right back to the beginning of the healthy trunk, just to make it more managable to move (with having so many other plants )

If you look closely in the photo you can see a ridge in the trunk and I think that is now healthy trunk below it, where the shoots have come from and above it I'm not expecting to see any signs of life now

This is exactly how my last Erythrinas grew when I've grown them in the past and they flowered in the second year, so fingers crossed

 

I always find they dieback quite a long way.
One of mine has died right back to the soil level, but I think the roots are still alive.

The other one has been growing for over a month now and has been on the allotment for a couple of weeks.

 

Its looking good Pete

 

Lets hope for some good flowers this year.
We need a two month heatwave.

 

I think this confirms you are correct longk, one I thought was dead has produced a shoot from underground near the old stem.

 

Be careful what you wish for, its trying its best

 

More of the same, I hope.
