Great, no, whitecurrant, but this we do have! We have small plants, perfect for sending. So glad we can repay you for the lovely gooseberry cutting after all! PM your address.

I've got a few Aloe Vera - My mum is an Aloe Vera nut......even her cats eat it!! - Don't ask!

I can cut a few of the 'pups' of mine if you fancy?

I'm looking for cuttings off:

Figs (named, but not brown turkey)
Japanese Wineberry
Whitecurrant
Redcurrant

or seeds:

Sunflowers - any - preferably unusual ones:)
Strelitzia (Bird of paradise seeds)

Would love to try tomatos again, but as I don't have a greenhouse, they'd need to be capable of growing outside - My last lot didn't get as far as ripening(

Chilli peppers would also be of interest.

Any other unusual fruits, preferably that are hardy in uk. I've got a particular interest if people keep their eyes open and see any interesting citrus fruits in some of the speciality food stores. I'm after a photograph of the fruit, and the seeds as well. If anyone finds a source for the purchase of the dwarf Poncirus trifoliata 'flying dragon', then I'm very interested.

Bamboos - see my list at:

...or potentially anything interesting, unusual, variegated....or just different?
