I will indeed Rob ;)

My son took delivery this afternoon while I was out so I rushed to get them unwrapped and have stood them in large pots in a tray in the greenhouse and gave them a thorough soaking.

Tomorrow I will empty out the excess water and take a couple of snaps. My 3ft looks to be about 40" and my 4ft looks about right at 48" but I will measure them properly tomorrow.

I wish I'd let them wrap my Dicksonia antarctica now. I took some cling film not thinking they would wrap them. :( :lol:

I've never seen it for sale anywhere but I'd much rather use black fleece on my palms than white, it would blend in much better with the winter garden and not distract the eye anywhere near as much.
