I have a cordyline which has grown too big for its space.Can i take the top of to reduce it or do i have to dig it out? I would prefer to leave it were it is and prune it.Would this be possible?

Thanks J Landy.

My arum lily like the one Joe planted is sitting on a shallow ledge in the pond with it,s crown above or just about level with the surface of the water. It has suffered badly this winter from the frost and frozen over pond. I realise now it should be deeper under the surface. If it survives (it looks quite damaged) I will lower it down into the water to cover the crown. I hope this will afford it more protection.

My pond is much smaller than this but I would like a small bullrush to go in it. I have seem typha minnimus but don't think much of it. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I 'll have a look at that. Typha Laxmannii also looks good, it's a bit bigger than minnimus but looks more like a bullrush.

Does anyone know where to obtain the black plastic crates Joe used for planting the pond plants? The pond I have inherited is about 27inches deep so I need quite big crates.
