Laburnum (updated)

[Limbit]

So, can I convince you to cut some for me Wizard Goat ? I've got some dwarf bamboo arrow shafts and loads of nephrite jade to trade. If I can ship feathers I've got some sweet native bird feathers that are great for fletchings here in Taiwan. I've always wanted to try the stuff. That and lilac, but both are hard to come by.

Limbit I'll be be cutting some in the winter, I've had bad luck with checking.
Sorry to jack your thread Lucasade

I'm always looking out for it but I've only seen it in other people's gardens here in South Wales - and that's just a stone's throw from Warwickshire

No worries jacking the thread - it went off topic a long time ago!

I find laburnum to be basically invisible in the countryside for 10 months of the year, then when it comes out in flower you see it everywhere. The trick then is to find the good stuff and mark where it is before the flowers go.
