I don't know if any of you can help: As my mother passed away, I
wanted
to bury her ashes in my garden and plant a tree/shrub in memory of
her.
The requirements are as follows:

Grows no more than about 3m high
Easily propogated (so that my brother and sister can have offspring)
preferably by layering
Possible to grow in a large pot
Preferably is attractive on Mum's burthday (20 April)


If you could recommend something suitable, I'd appreciate it. We are
in Kent (SE England)

Mick,

Azaleas 'The Royalty of the garden' http://tinyurl.com/33hvkc quickly
comes to mind. There is an abundance of brilliant colours
http://tinyurl.com/2nfmyn and most bloom from mid-April to mid-May and
the blooms last for one to two weeks. Also, they can be layered quite
effectively. http://tinyurl.com/2y9fqy

Azaleas require an acid soil http://www.rhododendron.org/soil.htm and
they are a very long lived plant when requirements are met.

Regards,
Emrys Davies.
