Location: Southern New England Zone 6b Like Kyuzo (pictured above) in "The Seven Samurai," I've "...Killed (more than) two..." bamboos.
I'll watch the videos when I have time. Do you think the Ty-Ty brothers are related to Ed Wood? Sounds possible.

If not, then those guys are on some serious psychotropic drugs, and probably were bottle fed on them as infants. :P

Jeff, the hanging rodent is called Ty Ty Possum and seems to have been adopted as a mascot for the nursery. It is featured wearing a hat and swinging through a number of their ads going "WWWWHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Another annoying TyTy bamboo ad. Use bamboo to screen out attack dogs, kids getting beat up, tribal dancing and scantily clad women on motorcycles.

Wow... The two chicks in an all out b¡t¢h slap brawl was pretty impressive... And I really liked the part about bamboo forming an astonishing privacy hedge overnight, however, if my neighbor looked like the biker chick, I don't think I would worry about a privacy hedge.... Unfortunately, my gear head neighbor looks like a mashup of a seriously undernourished meth head, and one of the deliverance hillbillys, and the japonica that I planted between us last spring is still far from being an impressive privacy screen.....of course, I'm kind of afraid to walk over to that side of the property to see how its doing! :blackeye:

On the trip back from Savannah I made a swing past TyTy Nursery. They were closed. I took a couple of pictures, but nothing interesting to report otherwise. The trip further west to Providence Canyon was much more interesting.

I considered writing a fictionalized account of the visit, but wasn't sure how it would go over. I figure TyTy would either threaten to sue or demand the movie rights for their commercials.
