all 6 are still alive, all are different ranging from bushy to single stem tall, the most beasty one got best place and has gone for two trunks .
the slugged one is alive but in the way
the variation is quite striking as they had the same conditions until they got their final boxes
it will be interesting to find out how each develops, i have tried to give each a place it's shape seems suited to but in many ways they could be different strains
ace, from what slim said last time these are the real deal, ie variable but the best are very best and i just put the big un in the best spot
as they are in fairly rich soil i will give em another couple of weeks growing roots before i start feeding them liquids
i must give thought to the spots that are better than the best spot , brackets, steel rope , pulleys etc, hey ho
grrr the best sun is not at floor level |

In a "what a coincidence" moment vis-a-vis dpack's Burpee tomatoes - on Saturday there was a Garden Conservancy Open Days at Fordhook Farm in Doylestown PA.
"In 1888, W. Atlee Burpee acquired several hundred acres of farmland in bucolic Bucks County. Today at Fordhook Farm, hundreds of new vegetables, annuals, and perennials are still grown, tested, and evaluated on a 60-acre test farm and network of gardens to guarantee Burpee's high standards of quality. In addition to the test plots, there are extensive display gardens of choice perennials, shrubs, and trees for sun and shade. Over 30 new tree specimens have been added since the last Open Day. Important large-scale sculpture by Steve Tobin and Daisuke Shintani animate the landscape. The sixteen-acre core of the property, including the original Burpee Seed House, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places."
