Can we get euonymus in here somewhere?
I'm used to seeing the shrub version.


(Spell-checker is good for something sometimes.
I tried to spell it eu-wonymus and it wouldn't let me.)

Think about maintenance. Plant a rose and a briar and you're in for a lifetime of pruning to stop them twining together. Whereas the broom blooms bonny, the broom blooms fair... obviously a better choice.
