Curly45 16 Feb 9:30pm, 16 Feb 2024 4,631 posts	0 Curly45 I'm trying to get hold of a Garrya elliptica since a visit to Bristol botanic gardens this week. I've never bought plants online, any tips or recommendations or maybe a place in Derbyshire we could get some from? I might want more than one depending on size.

Fizz :-) 17 Feb 1:44pm, 17 Feb 2024 8,679 posts	0 Fizz :-) I can’t take too much credit, it was here when we bought the house ten years ago We just prune it occasionally. That is probably the best it has ever looked though, not quite sure why.
