Tall thin shrub recommendation??

Many thanks in advance Kate xx Can you tell us if you want deciduous (drops its leaves) or evergreen growth .. do you want flowers? It's obviously got a specific job to do. Why does it need to be narrow .. near a gate (with lots of foot traffic), near an alley (is there a wind tunnel effect). The more you can tell us, the easier it is to suggest something. It would also help us to know roughly where you live and what your soil is like. Hi Thanks for all the suggestions so far I'm in the Midlands, slightly acidic clay soil. It's a corner behind a raised bed with an access path behind, that's why it can't spread too far but also needs to be fairly tall to be seen. But not too tall or it will be out of proportion with the bed. Don't mind about deciduous or evergreen... flowers are always nice Kate xx |
