Everyone wants a tree full of beautiful flowers in their garden but then those cherry blossoms won't survive the 40"C of heat. And Tabuiya Rosea(Pink Trumpet Tree) doesn't look that appealing, In fact they don't shed their leaves and produce flowers until they are fully mature.

Gibberellic acid on Bamboo

Leaf size also increased to size of leaves, you would see on adult bamboo trees.Overall this is a magical compound but only if you dont overdo it, otherwise the new growths begin to distort and leaves begin to fall off. -Here is a 1 year update (I stopped using gibberellic acid after 3 months) You can see that the number of new growthis  too much relative to a normal plant of same age
