Morris Minor Owners Club

Do we have any gardeners who can help my wife with her ginger bush. It has started to curl up and doesn't look very happy. She may have been cutting it too severely or over watering it. I'm sure we must have some expert gardeners in the club.

Seriously ?????

We went on holiday to the Azores where they grow like weeds. She managed to find one when we got back but I don't think it likes the english climate

My wife has the same/similar and trims it twice a year , maybe over pruning is the problem?

Really ??? Seriously ???? Perhaps 31 years as a Police officer has made me over cynical but even so .......

We are a ginger(ish) family and I must say that if I refered to a 'ginger bush' all the kids would roll around laughing and the innuendo game would start big time!
Having said that I do know that such things exist in the horticultural world and suggest the OP consults a gardening website where people have cleaner minds

Priceless!

this should workhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shaver-f-pubic-hair- ... SwImRYIY-o

Shouldn't this topic come under TRIM ??

Think im too immature for this thread. Tho I am ginger

I desperately want to 'contribute' to this thread but my instinct begins in the gutter and travels downwards.

According to the sublime Oscar, 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.'

Oh dear what have I done after reading my first post I can see that I should have worded it more carefully. My wife has now read it and I'm in deep poo poo mind you I'm always in it it's just the depth that varies. She says that she cannot now go to any Morris Minor events as everyone will be asking her how her ginger bush is doing. My ear is swollen and I slept on the sofa last night.

It's not that serious, given us all a bit of a laugh, You will probably end up on the News Quiz, but in any case a bit of a close shave. Is the Bush in question of the Brazilian variety, I know from my own experience that there are several, and is it large enough for topiary ?


.....I'll get my coat !.......

Im glad to know you have a vast experience of bushes so have I probably from being in the same job.

The good old Tetradenia - always gets a laff!

Just in case anyone was interested, a picture, Tetradenia riparia - Unlike any Ginger Bush I have ever seen!

I think planting them near a double entendre shrub can create a few problems

I understand that they can complement a carefully tended Box in part shade with moist conditions.
