Re: photos from today
Wow! Love the intense jungle feel - personally I could never sacrifice my "entire" lawn though! - Was that a Fargesia Scabrida i saw? If so - how would you rate its growth rate - and its robustness in some wind?

Re: washingtonia robusta were to buy?
I'll take one tomorrow, I'll estimate at 45cm from memory, but will measure and photograph it tomorrow in my garage, really great condition, and I chose a day for delivery by emailing after ordering.

Re: poor drainage
Has anyone used gypsum into their heavy clay soils, does it work to loosen up the soil to take in more water easily?
