Well, some of us still like'em. (I like bamboos, too.) So can I ask
questions about a couple of species:
I have young plants of E. badjaensis, grown from seed from 3000+feet
at Glenboy (spelling?), NSW. Airily graceful and v. quick-growing so
far. Question: eventually how big? how long is eventually? how hardy?
I have young plants of E. alpina, grown from seed from I know not
where. Darkly and chunkily handsome so far but moving at a plod rather
than a panic. Same questions, really. Is it in any real sense an
alpine? Ie, is it going to stay more or less dwarf??
TIA if anyone can help. You can tell me not to grow'em if you like. I
shan't mind. I shan't listen, either, of course (democratic right to
what?)...
