What's the matter with you? You like door to door salesmen or what?
We are just gardeners. We ain't tryin' to sell shit to no one.
**** you and your corner patio.

Blank Czech, clever, I see what you did there Billy and I like it. However, and you'll like this, I'm actually British - I just happen to live in the Czech Republic.

No, I'm not particularly keen on door to door salesmen but you don't have to open the door to them. In the same way that you didn't have to open or read Earl's post. Besides (and regardless of alteria motives) Earl didn't once mention wanting to sell anything, it was all about advice and don't you think there maybe a newbie or two out there (myself included) who really don't know the best way to plant a tree and might have found it an interesting read?. And don't forget, every know and then gardeners do actually need to buy stuff...

Do you think your sarcastic, agressive, I'm holier than thou response was really needed? I've read a few of your other posts and the same theme runs throughout, you just can't help yourself being rude and sniping all over the place. It's really trying and just makes you look like a bitter and twisted old man.

Anyway, I'll apologise for being rude, I just read your post late at night and it made me angry. But I shouldn't have been insulting so for that I apologise.

Thanks for the links, looks nice but the fact that "All parts of the plant, except the ripe fruit, are poisonous" make it a no no for me. I'll keep searching.

So cheers, and chill out...
