A lot of people refer to Cordylines as Palms - some know they aren't, others don't know. Palm is a bit quicker to type out tho I'm pretty sure that those growing along the " Devon Riviera" are often referred to as Torquay Palms so that doesn't always help. That aside, there are sites which suit them and they can look quite majestic - an introduced plant for sure but so many of our plants are if you go back far enough. They can actually be useful too at times. A mature one which was situated across the road from my previous house was actually used as a nest site one year by the Collared Doves - no idea how they managed it but they did. Re "bog brush" - I cannot find a decent one for my WC's - big and round but the wc's ( both modern installations ) have a square outlet so a Cordyline head would work better @nutcutlet - despite moving house, I'm still enjoying various plants grown from the seed you sent some years ago. I like to know you are still around as I'm sure other posters do
still here @philippasmith2, glad the plants are doing well. So much time. i looked at my profile to see when I joined, it says November -1. Unfortunately it doesn't say which year But it's a lot
You were here before me weren’t you @nutcutlet? Think it was 2011 when I joined.
@Dovefromabove, I really have no idea at all, I've met quite a few people for real in that time and some of the meet-ups seem a lifetime ago. I remember Anglesey Abbey at Snowdrop time, was that the first for those of us in this area?
@nutcutlet and @Dovefromabove I cannot imagine just how many gardeners have benefitted from all your kind help and advice. UK gardens [and elsewhere in the world] are better places for it.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
