Thanks Silver surfer, and you Mark56.Maybe I'll let it stick around then and just keep an eye on the height!

Thanks peeps. I'm going to go with a pheasant egg!

Oops She says it Deschampsia Cespitosa Goldtau! Embarrassing!

I have just picked 29 fruit off my tree and we have some good quality vodka so I am going to make small bottle of Slivovicz ... I will come back in a few months.

thank you very much sheal.

Thank you

I'm over the moon you've suggested camellia! I love them but had no idea. It's obviously in need of a lot of TLC so I'll get on that straight away!
