hi im in the uk and trying to grow some grass trees from seed i know they are very slow growing but i have read that some species can grow up to 2.5cm a year when they start to form a trunk i am in no hurry cos im only 23 but can anyone give me some advice on the faster growing species?? i have to admit i am probably deluding myself but hay you never know..

oh and just out of interest i would also like to know what sort of price you pay for trunked grasstrees i have a 40cm

trunked X. glauca that cost me £150 (351.57aus doller)im not complaining cos i on the whole dont agree with buying any wild collected plants but when i saw it in the specialist nersury i thought hay at least i will look after it rather than some towny who just thinks it looks good im glad export is stopping i can think of it as an investment at uk prices

oh one othr thing i have been trying to find a fert that is low in phos i am organic any ideas on organic fert for it??

i know lots of questions but i am addicted to plants and you get some of the best.

cheers

steve
