    Its a Musso Basjoo matey.
    Japanese hardy banana. Each new leaf gets caught on the roof now and needs bent down by me so it can grow. In a surprisingly small pot that stops its offsets/pups from developing.
    Likes a regular good drink,dont we all :beer:

                  Haylofts Catalogue landed on my door mat today (well postbox really because it if had of landed on the mat the dog would surely have ripped it to shreds before I managed to get anywhere near it hahahahaha)
                  That was quick I only ordered it the other day..
                  Time for a wee cuppa tea and perusal methinks...

                    Hi @Gail_68 looks like it might have been the viburnum tinus.

                          Hi Longk, is yours outside at all?
                          Mine wants splitting again and I was wondering whether to leave the main plant inside and try one outside and one in the greenhouse ( unheated ).
