"I just wanted to say how pleased I am to have got the Podocarpus salignus yesterday. I feel a bit like a child with a Christmas present! Also thank you to David for pointing out all the plants are from Chile; it had not occurred to me, and is very interesting. Maybe that is where I should look for plants for the damp areas of my garden. Many thanks. "
