Closing the HTUK Forum
Haven’t logged on for many years. Wow. I learnt so much from this forum. And I’m very proud of my garden, although it took a bit of a back burner for years now due to many reasons! But still looks great with no new plants in like 5years.

Longest summer since 1910 :)
If this is true - my washingtonia robusta will get a good start to its life! But on the downside my robellini will need some extra shade from the sun - it limped with persistent sun last year, although it was probably acclimatising, despite daily watering. http://www.express.co.uk/news/nature/46 ......

Re: Which Bamboo is best as a hedge?
Concrete - how tall is your scabrida now? Got any pics? I have a couple of pots that are fairly dense but only 25cm or so tall - wondering how many seasons they'll need to get up to 2m plus, as that will influence where I put them! Bought start of this year - 30Litre, its around 1.2 metres tall i t...

Re: Which Bamboo is best as a hedge?
4-5 metres - BUT - with any fargesia you can cut a culm at a certain height and it will never grow taller. So you can get a 2--3 metre robusta with some topping off. Its meant to be really good against wind, so ideal for exposed locations.

Re: Which Bamboo is best as a hedge?
Fargesia scabrida Asian wonder, non invasive and reaches 2-3 metres, no need for root barrier. Culms look beautiful against its leaves. I love mine. My next purchase is the fargesia jiu 1. Around 2.5 metres with a reddish culm appearance. Again non invasive

Re: anyone planted out his maurelli ?
When is the best time to put maurelli plug plants out?? or let them grow in 3 -5 litre pots first? Currently in small 9cm pots i think.

Re: Which schefflera ?
Anyone know the growth rate of the Rhododendrifolia? Ideally i want it around 6-8 foot to plug a nice gap in my garden border - does it take to heavy pruning? Invasive?

Re: Gogglebox's Garden Blog:Year Three
I like gardens where you can really get lost into another time period and place altogether - and that's the exact feeling from the video i saw a few pages back - well done.
