I'm glad you're keeping records, @shiney. I ought to :redface: but rely on memory (bad idea :biggrin:) and overall impressions. The main one is...
Where there is new green growth, it looks healthy, so yes, there's every chance that when it's planted in a generously-prepared hole it will...
The colour is normal for the time of year and for a plant kept indoors. As soon as natural light levels pick up and you're able to put it outside...
I used to get a fair few plants from them but can't remember now whether I tried seed. Their plants were good quality. Good luck :)
Happy retirement, Nigel :yahoo: May it be long and very, very happy!
Yes it does work like that but it can't continue to do so. I've seen it in practice here. The farmers quite simply throw in the towel or commit...
They would be short of money to repay bank loans, though :sad:

Beautiful shrubs and I don't understand why they're not more widely available and grown. Was the 'beast from the east' that foul winter of...
How do you harvest the bark without killing the plant? :)
After a fruitless search through my badly-organised photos to find one of it flowering, this is it at the moment :)[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Looking at the nursery description, it's spring-flowering like Rhaphiolepsis rather than autumn flowering like Eriobotrya, so would escape...
I recently came across this.....a hybrid between Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepsis....called Eriobotrya 'Coppertone' or Rhaphiobotrya 'Coppertone'...
Just checked and mine's C. x raulstonii Venus :) [ATTACH]
Honeysuckle would be good, with the proviso that it's kept well-watered and fed. They flower so much better with some TLC and mildew can be...
