Melanoxylon is one I have, thats hardy but not very ornamental. I also have Pravissima and thats just coming into flower at the moment. I planted a 4ft plant of Dealbata two years ago, it grew well all summer, but last winter killed it. Stange because I have seen a few pretty large ones around...

Unless you have space in your house for the toms and cucs you'll probably need to heat the greenhouse for a few weeks after the plants come out of the propagtor. You also need to think about whether you are going to plant in the ground in the greenhouse or in grow bags or pots. You also seem to...

Ok, Battery just gone on the camera but I managed to get a couple - so here they are:1)This plant is about 10 inches tall, very delicate with only a few leaves and these yellowy green flowers.2) Not sure if this is a large shrub or a small tree, stands about 4 ft high, no leaves and...

Exactly where mine was chobart, but I failed to keep on top of it - and thats what you have to do, if you don't wish to start from scratch again. Mind even if you start from scratch, if its coming in from outside the garden, it will just recurr.

Line it with polythene with holes in it !! :D

I've put the three worst affected ones outside, this rain will do them some good, not sure about the night time temperatures though.

White spathe type flowers will come along soon followed by bright red berrys.I have a clump in my garden, which I left when I reclaimed the area.

I had forgotten to add in my post this morning that the grower of C. graecum in the US gardens in Michigan.Palustris, I don't know if you have got the wrong end of the stick here... nobody, or at least not me, is having a go at what you've said. All we can do on a site like this is post our...
