    I have some Cascade plants taking over my deck. I need to trim them back. They are spreading uncontrollably. I am just north of Madison. I don't really feel like mailing but I would meet someone in the area to give them away.

    Are you still looking to unload some Cascade plants? I live in Poynette and work in Lodi.

    I can still pull some up. We pulled up a bunch a couple of weeks ago and tossed them. They spread like crazy.

    I'll take a couple. I would probably be putting them in XL planters. Do you think they will do okay?

    Probably, if the planters are really big and they have something to climb on. I have heard of it being done. Mine are already over 10 feet tall. I looked at them when I got home and I have one clump that has shoots about 3 feet long on it and I have a couple of others that are only about 1 foot long.

    Do you want to get rid of them all? If so, I'll take them.

    It's very difficult to get some US variety...

    Leurne,

    Sometimes bringing live plants across national boarders is very tricky. There have been so many problems caused by invasive plants.

    It is getting kind of late in the season for this year. I will do it again next spring. They spread like crazy. I will make sure I get out there before my wife rips them out and I should be able to get quite a few starts.
