A
living handrail beside the steps in my own garden: I'm making it by
cutting halfway through the wee trees and folding them over:
hoping to have it finished before i'm doddery enough to need it.

This fancy pink flowering-cherry had been grafted
on to roots of plain wild cherry....but both had grown, the plain white
one is crowding-out the fancy one cos it's more vigorous. I would
recommend gradually pruning back the plain white one to let the fancy
one thrive.
A daunting job
Coming Soon!!! More photos of hedges in Aberdeenshire
and the Highlands. In the meantime, here's a link to
the best source of info about the old craft of Hedgelaying.......
