Discussions about propagating from cuttings, seeds, air layers etc. Going on a dig (Yamadori) or thinking of importing? Discuss how, when and where here.
For the last 5yrs I have regularly driven past a local house with a hedge of golden privet right along the front boundary, on approach today I saw not a hedge but a cream powdercoated fence. As I got closer I could see the owner working in the front yard & then all these lovely stumps... my hegde.. I had often wanted to ask if I could have one tree, now I have the whole hedge

All butchered & potted up, 15 in all, mainly big multi trunk messes that will need further reducing, this is the last one & how it ended up, now potted into a 35cm pot (the smallest it would squeeze into).

While they have been out of the gorund a week I am fairly confident they will survive, lots of fun to be had once they are strong enough... cant wait...

If you ever find the stress of so many large trees under you collection, i would be more than willing to offer my services to take one off your hands for you

Thanks all. It was a great score, no digging required
Gavin,
More like 20 metres of bench space for a species I don't like... I will keep a couple, friends will get a couple, shall I put your name on something? It's nice, really nice... not too big either
