And if you use the double form of Gorse then there is no chance of it
seeding itself everywhere

I grow that and am surprised it's not more widely known or used. It's
an impenetrable barrier to urban pests, idiot proof (prune it as hard as
you like, axe or hedgetrimmer), flowers densely and fragrantly for
months.

It's lovely stuff, I think.

I agree with whoever suggested Rowan, maybe even some of the selections
like Sorbus rockii. From the maple group, most sycamores (and there are
lots) should do well, also A. ginalla, the Amur Valley maple.

Other toughies are the dwarf and alpine salix which can take any
amount of cold and wind; and red and yellow stemmed cornus.

Janet.
