Default Which Tree

The message
from Stewart Robert Hinsley contains these words:

My mother had a winter viburnum - as a standard tree. I presume it had
been grafted on to something, as usually, it is of a shrubby disposition
IME. Mine certainly is.

I wouldn't recommend it for as specimen for a lawn; in my humble opinion
it's better suited to an informal woodland garden. Winter honeysuckle
(Lonicera fragrantissima, or an allied species), again in my humble
opinion, would be a better choice, but it is also deciduous. But I don't
know what soil or climate it likes.


Recently, I got an evergreen honeysuckle. Looks like the ordinary
common-or-garden variety. After initial sulking, it's decided it likes
where I've put it and is reaching for the sky.
