Hey all. Took a few cuttings last autumn of my twisted willow and blow me down, they've all taken! I've given a few away, but have 3 left if anyone interested, though am already racking brains as to how to pack!!  :-\

Hi Lottie.  If I can grow it in a pot I'd love one please.  I assume it's a corkscrew willow in which case you obviously post it in a wine bottle!   ;)  ;D

Lottie, try packing your cuttings in a toilet roll tube or kitchen roll tube most effective. ;D ;D

Carol

I have always wanted one as well.    ;D ;D ;D  trouble is wonder where I could put it?   ;D ;D ;D

Mimi

Would love one if you can spare it Lotty.  Pretty please  Will happily pay postage and packing.  Let me know if you have a spare and I will pm you with my address.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Mimi, you're more than welcome, PM address and will post it next week. Now Carol, I'm sure you can find room!!! Let me know if would like one, and will send.

UC Just a suggestion for packing bigger plants etc. If you have a signwriter near you ask for the cardboard rolls that the vinyl is rolled on to..Byeeee

undercarriage plan

Thanks Lorna!! Good idea, have printers but no sign makers... :-[ Keep cardboard from anything sent though, so will do my Blue Peter thing next week, if don't hear from me, am sat on floor, encased in sellotape... ::)

Awww, you're welcome G! So glad it's in one piece. Have you named it yet?  ;D ;)

Georgie

Named it?   :-\  Oh cummon, what on earth would I call it?  And wouldn't all the other plants in the garden get jealous?   ::)
