Q.Black Locust tree. I have had in pots for 10 years. It hasn’t bloomed for 8 years. What happened?
It’s in a 4 foot urn. Drip system. Water occasionally with hose. Hasn’t bloomed. What do I do? I love the intricate woody branches.

It would help to refresh the soil if you haven't done that in a while. Also check the roots; if they are rootbound, may need to root prune or move up a size in container. Our experts suggest using a nitrogen fertilizer. Here's a helpful article:
