Most Dangerous Plant In Your Garden

Our large Ikea Cycas is on the left, a small £8.99 one in the middle and the other was from Amulree.

We havent been to Nigels yet, but have heard his prices are good, probably going over next year as he seems to have some decent yuccas. I think we were just lucky with the Ikea find. Most were smaller than this, we pulled them all out to find the best one.

You've never been to Nigels, a Corsa will not do !

I've been lucky that I've always been given a lift with Damian

Total Eden http://www.hardyexoticplants.co.uk and his truck

(and sometimes trailer http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 ... =627466255)

Is the suspension still good on your tardis, I mean Corsa.
If you thought your corsa has been well loaded, you should have seen my astra van when I picked up a few freebies from Mark when he was where he used to work.
One trip I couldnt change lanes on the motorway because I couldnt see out properly

The suspension is pretty knackered!!
When we came back from cornwall i had to 'prune' some of the purchases to see out!!

Will be getting a newer car soon, so migh tlook after it a bit better, should be having access to a trailer so that will make life easier!!

A trailer only means you can buy bigger stuff

Ive seen a couple of funny sites going out of Nigels on trailers (MK Nige

)

It's a lovely bamboo and produces thick culms relatively quickly. However it also reverts quite often to Vivax 'Aureocaulis' (yellow with green stripes, as opposed to the green with yellow stripes) and even mature-ish clumps I've seen has a "two in one" effect. Our young one hasn't sent out a reverted culm so far.

If you want consistent green culms with yellow stripes only then Phyllostachys bambusoides 'Castillonis Inversa' is a better choice, albeit slower than above.

Thanks Mark its worth noting. I haven't got room for one of those either

It only takes up the space of an Ae-Ae, I'd take that tatty old thing off your hands
