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.
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 this old craft.......
