Another thing I see from time to time is a "Fedge" 6' trellis panels with
one of the shiny leaved euonymous woven through (not stiff enough on its
own)this makes a marvelous very narrow evergreen hedge, I seen them only
6" wide


Sounds pretty but I've never seen it. The other thing I did mean to say was
not to plant yew in a wet area. We've had to take out a struggling yew
hedge here because the water run off from the field was drowning it.
Matthew has put beech in and it looks a lot happier.


Don't plant willow, then - unless you can go like the clappers with the
shears.


Yes indeed! The 'low' fence of it we have on a wall above a pond has been
cut back three times this year. Lucky there's not more of it!
