URBAN JUNGLE ARRIVE...

Well the plants that Paul bought did! Paul had bought a Yucca Jewel which we'd seen while eating lunch in their greenhouse cafe area and due to the size it needed to be delivered.

Once home he decided that he'd ask if he could have another couple of plants added to the crate that it would arrive in!

So on Thursday they arrived.

First up is this little Yucca Rostrata which can stay in the ground..

then we have

This is the Yucca Jewel which we have put for the moment near the greenhouse because it will need winter protection.

It's over six foot high with a spread of about four foot and will look fabulous in Paul tropical area next year.

Now we'd seen another plant Paul wanted, so when he phoned to have it added to the delivery I told him to ask them for the biggest he could get for the price ! and we were blown away when this plant arrived because it looks about two foot taller than we expected , not that we are complaining! We think it's fabulous service !

It about seven foot with lots of palms and three lovely trunks, because this is hardy Paul will be able to plant it in the back of his Tropical border to make a nice statement.

From the other side, the sun was shining so the photo's a little blurred.
It's a Trachycarpus Fortunei.

So Paul will be doing some planting this weekend , weather permitting!
