Hi Chookie,

Thanks for the tips. I will look these plants up.

I don't mind most insects, but having been stung by scorpions 4 times as a
kid I don't feel so lucky. Between me and my husband I seem to have the most
encounters with Aussie spiders. No bites yet, they just pop up in surprising
places. I spent 20 yrs in the UK which might explain some of it, not much to
bite you over there.

So you think that having three different trees will look scruffy?

Cynthia.
