Anyhow he came back with a great one 75, I'm digging through the roots of one of my trees,
but before the fire I had a great evergreen creeper in its place.

Don't look back. That's not the direction you are travelling towards.

We have bought Boogies from that guy. Same planting instructions and they all grew away well. However in the early days I removed the tin from one and carefully arranged the roots in the hole. It died within a week! The old man knows his stuff.
We are about to start harvesting seedless grapes from our new 3 year old vine. A quick taste test shows great promise in about a month....assuming the blackbirds leave them alone!
