Sorry if this OT for gardening, but we have two spindle trees which my
husband struck from cuttings from a woodland spindle about seven or eight
years ago. They have never fruited, but this year there is just one green
berry, which I hope will burst into the glorious spindle berry colours
later in the year.

Has anyone else had experience of growing spindles, and is it likely that
this could be the start of something big, with lots more berries from now
on?

I bought a shrub a few years ago and it's provided several berries every
year. Trouble is, it's part of the hedge at the bottom of the garden so I
can't see them from the house :-(

I'd like to know how to care for it though, it's getting leggy.
