That's good Meanie, this is the only one with a bud , no sign of the f.michailovskyi though.

All my small ones are through. I had to have a dig and the biggies are shooting (20cm below ground) and still solid too!

Excellent Meanie, checked mine and they are still ok.. Thankfully

It's a first for me. I've lost so many F.imperialis and F.persica over the years!
