      I just realised that I said the above some time ago, and never did report back.

      I ordered 5 named Brugs including postage for £20. There was a delay, which didn't bother me a bit, as they weren't ready to be sent out, and then the cold weather came. But I received them some time ago and have been very happy.

      However with this cold spell, none of my Brugs have been growing much.

      The guy seems very genuine.

        That's the impression that I got from the emails that he sent me too.

          Gordon Bennett! So no plans to just train a 6' Lady Boothby and have an easy life then? :)

          Done that - wasn't impressed:frown:

          I must say that I'm very impressed with the communication (and speed of it too) that I've experienced so far:blue thumb:

            All joking apart I do fancy a tall, pyramid-trained, Fuchsia. Probably easiest to start with a hardy one, like Lady Boothby, as it will be less bothered by any low temperatures in April / May if it needs to go outside by then.

            I'm thinking of something like this:

              Kristen - send Nick an email and get advice from the expert! From where I'm sat, although Lady Boothby is hardy I found it very late to get going again.

              Yes, good idea. I'll also ask the owners at East Ruston what they grow, next time I'm up there.
