Look for the stock proof hedging that looks like it has 1" needles


There isn't much stock proof hedging round New Moston and South
Chadderton but I will keep an eye out.


attached to 6" nails and you won't be too far off. A bit late now to
look for sloe fruits. There were still a few berries up here after Xmas.

I would grow a mix of sloe, bullace, wild rose and pyracantha for
variety. The birds like them all. Vandals will be shredded to pieces on
all of them. Be careful what you wish for as pruning by hand requires
thick chrome leather gloves or you will get spiked and scratched.


Thanks.
I think a nice mix would be best - pretty and practical!
