The garden has nothing in it just now bar lawn and a sorry beech hedge. Sheep in fields round house so can't have anything poisonous (laurel, rhodi, etc) Ideas much appreciated. Thanks

Hi just an idea is to try a Ginkgo tree.. which prefers a moist soil with full sunlight. The Ginkgo is deep rooted and resistant to wind and snow damage. The soil it inhabits is typically in the pH range of 5 to 5.5. or alternatively if there isnt much for the Ginkgo to get it's roots to then Heather is always a lovely shrub
