    Pretty sure I have some spare 1-year old seedlings. Are you coming to Shiney's Open day?

    @shiney: is this the one you asked me for last year? (The pots I have in the greenhouse are unlabelled, but I'm 99% sure its whatever I gave you last year! Its got a leaf like an Acacia)

        Talking of which ...

        Like a complete divot I accidentally bought a pair of cherry trees from two different suppliers, thus I have both Cherry Stella and Sunburst (a good pollination pair) on Colt rootstock - if anyone coming to @shiney 's open day is interested. Bought bare root, but I potted them up :)

            Spreadsheet says the seed came from "World Wonders Gardens" and is "Sophora Davidii- Hardy Chinese Pagoda Tree"

            Can't remember who the heck "World Wonders Gardens" might be ... I'll google it.

              Has to be a typo surely?

              http://www.worldwondersgardens.co.uk/

              sell Cacti and Succulents, mainly. Interesting looking range though ... rather glad I have turned that up :) or maybe you are familiar with them already?

              EDIT: I do recognised their Script Font though ... I am sure I have had seeds from them :)

                Google that and I come up with this.......................
                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styphnolobium_japonicum

                The taxonomists have been at it again!

                So do I! It is very close to something that I'm familiar with too.....................

                    I'd love to go to Shiney's Open Day but at the moment I look after someone who's ill so it wouldn't be possible. As for Sophora Davidii, I had to have one so I bought one! :blue thumb:

                        On the contrary: "Mate" I say. And thank you very much for offering to propagate for us all. Typical of a good mate though ... :heehee:
