The message
from Sacha contains these words:
snip seen Lonicera
nitida grown as a pillar and assume one could keep it as 'thin' or as
'bushy' as wanted. What do you think, Janet?

But what about its container? Anything grown as a pillar in a windy
spot, will need a subsatntial container to prevent getting blown over.
My containers-in-windy-places are at least 24" across; there wouldn't
be
enough room to site them in a 4ft wide alley and still have free
access.


Be fair Janet, they are in London. Their 'wind tunnel' is probably more
like
your gentle breeze. Its probably worth a try in something smaller.

No idea who you are or what your credentials are for that statement but
'wind tunnels' in London can be pretty appalling. And I write this as the
person who made the Lonicera in tubs suggestion. Only the OP can tell us
if
it's a stiff breeze, a howling gale or a mere zephyr, don't you think?

Okay, I take it back. We are in a windy part of North Wales and many English
people I encounter seem surprised that wind exists at all. It doesn't help
that weathermen so rarely mention it.
I also have a stray Lonicera myself that is about to end up in a pot,
although hopefully only as a temporary measure.
