Well it's certainly worth a try, a friend of mine is thinking about trying one or two through his hedge (to give it a little shelter in winter) in Chelsea. -- Pete The Gardener A room without books is like a body without a soul. |

If the east and north east winds curl round into that porch, and that is not a rare phenomenon, it will die the first winter. It might be worth a go, but .... Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
