Nick, the friend with the Stachyurus came in today and she told me that it
isn't wind tender in her extremely windy garden. She also gets salt winds
but hasn't found it to be a problem. I don't think this is much comfort to
you, unfortunately!
She did say that, in her garden, the wind is such a problem that the upper
'dangles' get blown to bits and she only gets them at the bottom of hers.
