side border back garden

Actually Lionel is near 14 ft, definitely needs a trim. and underneath him there are a lot of last years foliage to clear away.

Oh yes, what a lovely big Mahonia. it will benefit from a prune though...It should get a bit more bushy.

its meant to be a standard but has developed several stems. I didn't want a busy one :o)

Oh, well fair enough! Its lovely!

You are going to be busy! too early to prune the Mahonia though!

Enjoy those lovely flowers, then have a trim.

this bit of garden wont be dry enough until March so the mahonia is safe until then haha.
