          Still can`t belive how cheap is the delivery , other nursery charge even more for a single plant :thud:.
          I really hope you got a sharp shovel , because you will have to dig a lot and a forklift to unloading the plants.
          the guy told me that they charge for pallets , please post a picture of the pallet because it must be a really big one.

                        Al , I was just thinking about the yucca , It`s actually the biggest of all the plants , but I got the suspicious that is a yucca elephantis , I had one in my garden for 2/3 year only , a small speciment , did survived the first 3 bad winter but no the coldest of all , overall died down to the ground but survived , the point you don`t want to lose that plant as it actually I rekon would take at least 15/20 years to reach that high again.
                        Really can wait as well for tmw , I really hope that you like the plants.

                          Lol, I am going to put central heating in the garden Mowgley!! :snork:

                          Sal, i'm going to put the yukka in a big planter, so when winter comes I'll put it in either the garage or shed, so hopefully it'll be ok. I can't wait either, it's like chrimmy eve for me, waiting to see what father garden centre is bringing me ( I think I've been a good boy! )

                          Also it's the last piece of our house renovation tomorrow too, a fireplace is getting fitted in the boys play room, so no more mahoosive big hole in the wall :yes: :yes: :yes:
