About 15 B. a plant. nice, thanks, i'll look out for that out on my morning walk today i saw a number of trees growing out if a steep hillside that looked promising. because they are growing on a near vertical surface, they are odd shapes and have been trimmed back many times making them short and stubby. i'm going to cut a couple out and try those too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
