I like them - they are an interesting addition to Cornish hedges,
which has happened since I lived there, but Cambridge is a bit
cold or dry for them to do well. They grow, but not vigorously.

Could you grow them in a tub?

Probably, but it wouldn't help. They much prefer the south-west.

Well I am in Scotland ...

Where? The point is that the west of Scotland is a LOT wetter
than Cambridge and is usually a lot warmer in winter (though
colder in summer). Cambridge isn't all that different from
Edinburgh, except in day length and sunlight.

But what I mean is that they grow with me, and even increase,
but don't spread vigorously - and I have had them die off, though
that is probably fungal.

That's a shame I am West.

It's swings and roundabouts.
