Starting to build back of fence up

It's not that scruffy Paul. It just looks wintery ... and it is winter :o)

Looks like a great mix of plants to me, love that yellow conifer. Is bamboo difficult to contain? I suppose you have to grow the sorts that won't take over the whole garden but I have heard it can become a problem?

Love the goldcrest mate, really stands out.

True Hywel lol :) Hi Louisa yes it spreads everywhere ! Next to 2 giant to be plants - I am taking big chances here , especially as the yellow conifer is Leylandii related. My neighbour loves bamboo and told her about it :D Cheers SL

How big do you expect the conifer to get? I'm very wary of conifers, I've bought too many little ones that end up so big I struggle to remove them. This week I've successfully cut down and dug out one that got to about twice as big as me. It was a big job! Now almost all my conifers are in pots, just in case!lol

stopping and pruning when it gets to about 10ft - hope the roots do not do damage though :D

I tried that with one of mine, but chopping the top off just made the trunk develop a lot thicker, and made it quite hard to get rid of when I decided to get rid. Yes, the roots could be a problem, depends what's in the vicinity for it to do damage too. It does look splendid at the moment though!

oh dear lol !! Yes the cedrus trunk is thick now !! grown a fair bit - I better buy some saws in LOL

You've been warned!lol

lol :D
