Anyone had anything else from him other than a waggy, Jubaea or Radicalis for example...?
Yes, a takil (I hope ;))

It's been in a pot since last year and the spear is still good and strong.

Darren paid George a visit for his birthday and picked up all of his goodies (don't blame him!). Wish I lived closer.

Also bought a radicalis, musella and a small fargesia muriallae whilst there all for a fiver each!.

Wow....some hugely impressive pix there... :D

It's probably just as well that I don't live a bit closer, otherwise I could easily go a bit spending silly on a visit..... :lol:

No question, I will be getting a largish Waggy, but I am also sorely tempted by a Jubaea too.....

Get the Jub Simba... I bought one 5 or 6 years ago and it has grown very well. I'm sure the fact that it was UK seed grown has made a difference as opposed to an import which can take a while to adjust to our climate.

Well I did finally get my Waggie from George, and I couldn't say no to this Jubaea for £40, so I got this too......

I think so too, Lee.... :D

Especially impressed with the Jubaea, cos the ones that I have seen for sale locally were very small (maybe 18" at most) and they were priced up at an incredible £125.......:ahhh!:

So when I asked George if he had any Jubs in stock and he told me he had a 4.5 footer that I could have for £40, I could hardly believe my luck..icon_thumleft
