Pussy Willow

I love these, Clarice, and what a good buy. I had one in my old garden and it was beautiful. Wish I'd bought it with me.

Thats a bargain and a lovely looking one as well. I bought one for my daughter to replace the one left behind when she moved house last Oct......

Gee as soon as i saw it i had to get it, it is a miniture and only grows 1.2 metres so going to put it in large pot. Linda it was a bargain not very often homebase as anything so cheap, as i find them abit dear sometimes.

Thats very pretty Clarice, what a bargain

A real stunner with a lovely straight trunk. Fantastic buy!

answered my question lol, thats a great price carol, is that on vicarage lane?

That's pretty, Carol, and will make a lovely scratching post for the terrible two! : o ))

No Sandra homebase is near south shore train station, where focus use to be, focus use to be on vicarage lane aswell but thats been closed aswell for about 2yrs.

right i know where you mean carol, thanx, did they have plenty left?

They only had 2 and i had one but they said they where getting some more in next week.

thanx carol, maybe leave it till monday or tuesday then, hope i get one lol

Bought one last week - they're gorgeous - bought mine for £9 at GC in Hinckley it was £35!

Youdid even better than me

You have a very neat pea shingle part - like it very much :)

that`s lovely...they are pretty trees

A little beauty Carol! I remember having one of these years ago. Like Paul, I like the shingle too, we're thinking of having similar at ours, it looks so sunny even when it isn't.....:o))

Thanks girls, Jane under the gravel are some tatty old slabs, got fedup with keep preasure washing them so put these down, alot easyer.

Ian's been washing our concrete area today Carol, he says it all needs to come up which'll be a big job, before putting pebbles down. How do you get on with yours with the slabs underneath?

Jane i find its fine, with the slabs being underneath there is never any weeds come through. Had these pebbles down about 4-5yrs now.

Clarice..Ive got some terrible news for you....just been to Tesco and they are selling these for £7! If only I had somewhere to put it!

wow thats cheap Tetra will check our tesco out

Tetrach that sounds about right for me.

Mind you Clarice, £9.99 is still cheap and you do have a lovely specimen and, I must admit, yours does look taller.

Hi Tetrarch, just had a friend call round for a cupper, and he got one from B&Q for 6-99, he had seen some in tesco and he said both Tessco and B&Q ones are only little, this one is nearly full grown, so now i'm glad i got this one when i did.

I thought it looked bigger! So glad.

Thanks.

i got one carol at homebase preston on our way back from southport, made up :o))

So pleased you got one Sandra :o)

cheers carol, me to :o)

:o)

Hubby came home with one for me too (he went to Tesco for his bread). It is much shorter than yours, Clarice, but still a good price at £7 I think.

Not sure if I'll put it in a container or directly in the soil... something to ponder. Hope yours is doing well, Clarice.
Seems a few of us have been able to get them this year :)

Mine is doing very well, thanks.

In the land of Pussy Willow la la la...why havent I got a bigger garden..would really LOVE one of these!! Oh you lucky people..lots of piccies please to see how they are progressing.

Tetra these dont get big, grafted so wont get taller, maybe fuller but can be in a pot on patio, go on you know it makes sence haha

San, I have enough pots to sink the Ark Royal..I have 2 azaleas, two rhodos, 2 acers 13 roses (ok so 5 are going into the garden this year) 1 choisya (I love the perfume) and a S.Black Lace..the garden is full to bursting! Im dreading going to Tesco this week...I just might do something daft like buy one!!

lol Tetra, i love S. Blacklace to, thats on my wish list, look every year but dont know where to plant it as they grow quite big dont they.
