And I have never heard of any of the suggestions, so I'd never have worked this out wiothout all your help Cheers! Tim I'm afraid I'm going to disagree with those suggesting Escallonia. While it does, indeed, make an extremely handsome hedge, imo it looks absolutely dreadful as 'dot' planting and achieves a kind of scruffiness that is very undesirable! If you decide to grub the whole hedge out and replace it, then I'd certainly say look at Escallonia. But as a few plants interspersed with established holly and hawthorn, it will look like a ballet dancer in a coalmine, imo. It will also be much slower to fill in than Lonicera Natidia |
