[miketropic]

wish our stores over here had palms and fatsia on discount..all they ever sell off cheap are those horrible majesty palms that die in a week. I did get a trio star today for discount but other than that nothing worth bringing home.

After reading Mr Lists posts on his fescicularia, it gave me an idea for a "mobile" feature using some of my fescicularia bicolor and an old branching tree stump i cut down a while back. It could be moved around the garden to fill a gap and moved to the greenhouse for overwintering etc. It only took an hour , so nothing lost if it doesn't work out.

Heres a short vid (i min 25 sec).............

[GREVILLE]

You're never stumped for a good idea, Arlon

[dorothy]

Excellent idea! Very creative

[MikeC]

Great idea if anyones got tree stumps in their garden.

[Mr List]

looks nifty.

i'd get some spaghum moss to cover the netting and make it look more wild/natural.

i got some the other day in the range,it was 25% off.

Crackin' idea. The net was only temporary until the plants took hold / spread but i'll add some of that anyway to hide the net and leave it there after the net's been removed

[Delboy]

Yet another cracking idea Mark.
Kicking myself now for letting my uncle take away a big old tree Stump i had lol.

it's a great idea, will look great once they've taken off and grown a little, well done, ever thought of becoming a garden designer with your skills.
