Ceonothus last summer

I have just been given 1 by my neighbour, cannot decide where to place it
i have 1 already in my garden, climbing over a low wall.... the 1 have now is called `thyrsiflorus, it grows to 50cm....yours is huge almost a tree...cannot believe how big it has grown in 5 years...you got quite a bargain there Annella..

I cut away all the bottom branches. It has a very thick trunk now :-))

This is what I have done with mine Annella, it looks like a tall standard now, instead of a large shrub, which was at least 5 feet across or more.

I needed the planting space underneath but like it better as a tree now :-))

all looks lovely

What a good idea, ours is not looking too good at the moment....

I love Ceonathus. Both of mine have died after the frosts this winter :-(

Are you sure they are really dead Reebees, mine look brown but I think they may come back to life...

Ours is half dead, evergreen Ceanothus are not long living plants, better to buy the deciduous ones.
