    I'm trying to find somewhere/someone who sells these plants in the UK. Preferably already to a reasonable size. Can anybody help? :thumb:

    I think pete is correct here .... surprise! ;)

    I have been drinking Rooibos Orange Tea for a couple of years now .... I think the shrub would survive here ... but not sure about the UK.

    Weather on the Cape where Rooibos grows naturally can have extremes of temperature, rainfall and wind so it may survive in the UK. My only concern would be the frost. It's worth a try though I reckon.
    Thanks for the links guys n gals.:thumb:
