    If it was a small plant I would have posted to you , but really you need a lorry , be honest to you , my garden is overflowing otherwise I would have gone for the DA myself , I`ve never seen one so thick , in another garden center I`ve seen a small 1 feet tracky at £80 same size there is £15 , same story with bamboo that size not less then £50 , plus I`m sure you would get away with bit more , didn`t take any pictures of the grass , fruiting , veg and so on.
