Best if you do supply the link Ben,

I knew what you meant but there are members who may not, maybe they will but just in case..

You see there really is an Evil Bay out there.

No link.

Im not sure on that one, it was previously listed a month or 2 ago and think went for £100? Presume the buyer couldn't be bothered collecting/completing.

Those strictior type butia odorata tend to be the most hardy and fast growing kind of Butias, an absolute bargain.

If they are then it would certainly be worth their while letting people know and discussing between themselves their maximum bid...that way the lower wouldn't need to bother leaving the higher bidder a better chance of getting a massive bargain :)

Mmmm so tempting for that price but too far for me! Would prefer to dig it out myself though,they might butcher it trying to get it out too quickly. If only one like that came up near southampton, one can wish! Any ideas how easy they are from seed?
