Lovely Spritz , good pic. I have a friend who has such a large shrub that they cut and sell the branches to a florist for decorations etc.

Mine is SOOO small - only about a metre tall - so I was really pleased and a bit surprised to find catkins on it. I'd rather not prune bits off for the florist, thanks.
