Hello All- I have questions about two plants:

FIRST: Boysenberry. A dear man that lives nearby has been very thoughtful and
generous in sharing many of his more unusual fruit tree seeds and cuttings,
etc. and when I asked what I could help HIM find, he replied boysenberry. He
grew up in California, and said that though it was hard work harvesting the
fruit (his dad got the whole family into it) he nowmisses the plant of his
younger days, so any help or leads you can provide on finding a source for
boysenberry are very much appreciated.

SECOND: I wonder if someone has good advice on what to do when a rapidly
spreading bamboo starts coming up under your historic house? Some of our
friends are pulling it up daily, and I don't think digging it up so far has
worked for them. They are talking about a concrete wall between the house and
the bulk of the spreaders. Any ideas? They would love to hear them!

Many Thanks,
Michelle in VA
