sorry to jump in on this thread but my question though hedge related

a catch ? i'm fearing japanes knotweed, himalayan balsam leylandii etc.

Interesting. *I've been to the web site, and have the following
thoughts:
1. *I agree with you, importing non-native plants should be done with

2. *If it grows 1.5 metres in the first year, presumably it does the
same every year after that? *You'd have to keep on top of that!

Ah yes.
