The message
from Sacha contains these words:


Like you, I'd thought they were still immensely expensive rarities
though I
do hope all those people buying Wollemi pines are quite sure that's
what
they've got! Apologies to Peter for my doubting Thomas act!
I must admit that I find them very dull trees but it's undoubtedly a
good
thing if the world stocks of them can be increased to protect the
species.

Very interesting indeed, thanks Jennifer. I may have to revise my
opinion
as to its attractiveness but at £97 for a 3l pot, I think we'll wait for
the
price to drop a bit!

You were right first time-they are dull. A better alternative is a
Leylandii:-)


I am reporting you to your ISP for being unduly provocative.
