The message from "Mr X" contains these words:

Well I'm not much of a gardener but I thought Id get a quick screen from
elderberry and I love elderberry juice. I would be interested in any better
suggestions. I just need a bit of fast growing privacy in my tiny gardern.

I have a mixture of beech, hawthorn and blackthorn. Not exactly
rapid-growing, but I intend to be around for quite a while yet,
and I love sloe gin! ;-)

I have difficulty getting rid of the elderberry trees in my garden,
and _yes_ they do grow that tall!



They tend to self set in situations where they are
difficult to get rid of e.g. between a shed and a wall.

I've completely chopped down one at my fathers house that
has grown to tree size on two occasions now

Gasp! Now the witches will get you!
