Hello,

New here. We bought three 24" box of B. Textilis Gracilis (Gentle Weavers), and six 15 gal, from a nursery. We needed height quickly, to provide a hedge or screen for our narrow side yard. Only saw photos online.

When we arrived at the nursery, we were a little shocked to see the foliage of them are rather thin, unlike the photos we've seen online, mainly in Australia, and on this website. The photos online shows big leaves, with thick foliage.

I will attached photos of the ones we bought. Spent alot of money on them, just like to see if anyone thinks the foliage will eventually thicken out, or if there's something we can do. They now sit in plastic containers, as we are working on the hardscape now.

Any thoughts?! Thank you!
