Reviewed By: Anita Exum (Plant City, Florida) I've only had this tree for a month and it has already bloomed out a good deal of leaves. Can't wait to see it when the flumes begin. Will let you know.  -  Saturday, February 16, 2008 Pink Smokey's R Great Reviewed By: William Smith (Lebanon, Virginia) When I first got these, I was skeptical...just looked like sticks but I planted them. I was amazed at how the sticks started sprouting growth and leaves...color change of leaves was great...later the next Spring, I had beautiful pink flumes all through August. Great!  -  Tuesday, May 27, 2008 a lot for a little Reviewed By: Nancy C (Orondo, WA) We live at the western base of the Columbia Plateau in a hot, summer-baked rock pile! I look for plants that are drought tolerant but still have something to offer. What isn't mentioned about the smoke tree in the description is its phenomenal fall leaves--orange, red, burgundy---that stay on long, long after the sumac and burning bushes. We have a harsh, sandy environment here, but these sweet little trees don't take much compared to what they give. After a couple of springs, it's now over 5 feet (pretty good for growing in pure subsoil!). Spring's barely here and I can hardly wait for fall just to see that beautiful color.  -  Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Beautiful tree Reviewed By: Anita (Plant city, Florida) The first year I ordered this tree, I did see the flumes and they were so pretty. Hope this year there are more flumes than last year.  -  Thursday, September 17, 2009 Great Tree Reviewed By: Niki (Bussey, Iowa) I bought one of these trees either 3 or 4 springs ago. It came and was alive but did pretty much look like a dead stick. I planted it and was somewhat skeptical. However after 3-4 years it has grown to be a beautiful tree. It is about 6 foot tall and has thick beautiful foilage. Although, I have yet to see it flower out and have it's pink feathery appearance. I'm hoping next year it will feather out. I have also heard everyone say that this tree perfers dry/sandy/rocky soil. However, I live in Iowa and have black soil that has absolutely no rocks in it and it also tends to be quite wet and it has done very well.
