Jungle Giants has Yunnan 2, 10 litres for £60. They will deliver.

They may well have one or two 20 litre ones tucked away, it's worth asking. It's a brilliant place to visit by the way, loads of bamboo, planted out and in poly tunnels. I'll be going Easter Monday, hopefully.

bit far from me, but i saw they had both on there papyrifera 20ltr, this is only site i could find it, is there much difference in the 2 then.

It is interesting that you say they have Papyrifera because I looked and couldn't find it. They have always had it when I looked in the past but only ever on pre-order.

Recently got 2 Borinda papyrifera for £29.50 each in 5 litre pots & Yunnan 2 for £34.50 in a 5 litre pot.
