I've been naughty, again!!!
I've been naughty, again!!!
Nipped to Dobbies in Peterborough
There was a few plants In the reduced section
So I picked up
2 Phoenix canariensis was £6.99 I paid £3 each measuring , 1ft 6 " from soil to top of leaf.
1 Aucuba crotonifloria was £30 I paid £15 measuring 2ft 8 " high
1 cordyline australis was £30 I paid £20 measuring 4ft 2"
I saw a very large Fatsia Japonica priced at £60 . I spoke to an assistant asking if they had something smaller. That price was too much for me!! She radio the manager he said I could have it for £40 . I said to her would she ask him if I could
have it for £30... He said yes !!! I don't know if I could of got him down more, but half price is good I think!!!
It measures 3 1/2 ft from the soil to the top leaf and 3 1/2ft wide.
Should of seen us trying to gently squeeze them in the car
They all got home safe and sound

Julia im from Peterborough and find Dobbies quite expensive so don't shop there but well done on getting the prices down.Not sure where abouts in Northamptonshire you live but if its Peterborough side it might be worth you trying Tandees nursey last time I went they had some great plants at good prices.
