Unwanted California Fan Palm Seeds
I recently ordered some seeds from a company called Supreme Seeds and as a
thank you received a gift of two California Fan Palm seeds. Since these apparently like hot dry conditions and I live in Shropshire, they don't seem terribly appropriateg. Also they can apparently grow to 50 ft. Now I have no idea whether these seeds will grow in this country or not, but if anyone would like them please let me know and I will post them. You can email me through the Reply-To address here, but put Seeds in your subject line to avoid my spam filter - or you can use the contact details in my web site at Stonybrook, below. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |

I am now trying Washingtonia filerfera but its not looking as if its going to be a lot tougher. It does not seem to be cold that's the problem but wet on the leaves while its cold, so hail and snow just make the leaves go brown, It is however a very handsome palm and for a palm very fast growing. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |

On the site it says you would give further details of the oak build. Would you be kind enough point me in the right direction as we are having our house valued next month, it is too big and we want to downsize but to something different. |

Sorry for delay in replying Judith, have been out in garden all day and out for yummy meal tonight (wedding anniversary so good excuse). I will email you tomorrow. Is your google email OK? I have a demon one for you somewhere I think. Hic! -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow:http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church:http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You've been at it again, haven't you? I hope it was a good one! My wedding anniversary was last week when we were away and we toasted each other, two days late, with Planteur or two or three, hic and hic. Two days late because we forgot it was our anniversary. My Demon email is fine to use, the only one I don't use on newsgroups is the one provided by my NHS employer. Judith |
