But do watch out for berberis! They vary between the vicious and the

I have to find the name of one that Hyams planted here moons ago and ask you
about it, Nick. It's in his book about this garden so I've got to go on a
hunt for it. He was obviously rather fond of Berberis and planted quite a
lot of them down one particular path beside the church. Or perhaps he was
making a point about anarchism!
