We have a gap in our hedge where some trees have been cut down. The
stumps
are still there. Is there anything I can grow there to fill in that
gap?
If so how do I get around the stump thing without having to get them dug
out. If it is possible, what plants would grow quickly to fill it the
gap
please?

Ballerina roses are good gap fillers and grow fairly quickly even if
they are partially obstructed by old stumps.

Thanks, Steve! He is going to try the leyandii thingy, but I can think
of
a couple of places where those roses might be useful!

The companies that have been replacing sewer and water pipes in our
road since March started by cutting down all the trees in the road.
They used a tool that attaches to a mechanical digger to pull stumps
and roots out of the pavements.I was impressed at how easy it was.
The same digger with a bull dozer attachment was used to "weed" what
had been grass before they started. It also accidentally bent a large
street lamp 45 degrees to the vertical.

Unfortunately, we don't own such a beast, so we are trying to work around
them)
