They are not great sellers because you realy need two plants (male and
female) or you miss out on the seed pods which are like strings of red
beads, the flowers are beautiful (especially S. rubriflora) like miniature
magnolias (they are related) but relatively small and short lived.
They are also b.....s to propagate!

As to the latter, Ray has quite enough fun with Rhamnus! ;-( Out of about
16 cuttings, I think he got 3 to take. The only small consolation is that
they're notorious for it!
