Advise required on hawthorn hedging
In article , Mike Lyle
writes Blackthorn's nice in a hedge, but it spreads a lot. Long-tailed tits like it. That's good to know - I love long tailed tits, and get flocks of them in the garden now and again. The red currant idea is terrific: gooseberries, too. Gooseberries excellent - I have one growing under a dogwood - it's flourishing, rooting so it's now 6 ft long, and cropping well. I think it would be good in a hedge. Primroses, Cowdlips even better - they tolerate the dryness in summer better than primroses. snowdrops, and lungwort on the north side, ramsons if it's moist; bluebells, of course. I'd be surprised if it was moist enough under a hawthorn hedge. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |
