A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members non flowering mock orange

I have had a mock orange in my yard which I planted about 4 years ago. It has never flowered (it was not in flower when I bought it). I live in the Worcester area of Massachusetts so the climate should not be a factor. I gives me leaves every year and has grown in height and width each year. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may get it to bloom. I have tried fertilizing and even root pruning (suggested by one forum). Thanks for any information you can give me.

Here's a link to help you.

Thanks for the reference. I had actually gone to that site already and the one problem I had with it was they said you needed to prune right after flowering However, mine has never flowered! Maybe just pruning it anyway might help.

We had that same problem with ours. We did prune it anyway, and it began to flower the next season. good luck!
