Is this a good time of year for planting Pyracantha?If not when would be?
Im still undecided whether to plant it or virginia creeper (when to plant
this also?) along the front of the house, are the roots of either of them
likely to damage foundations/damp course etc? Any advise would be most
welcome.



I'd go for Pyracantha. It's reasonably slow growing and evergreen with a
variety of coloured berries. If trained round window frames its spikes will
deter burglars.

On the other hand, Virginia Creeper has boring leaves in Summer, Will get
under your roof tiles and do its best to cover next door, whether they want
it or not, has pretty Autumn colours which eventually cover your garden in
leaves that you have the job of picking up.
