Re: plants and a question

It was a Winterthur viburnum, but that spot only gets sun in the winter.
I have a beautyberry on the other side of this bare spot. Mahonias I
have but they are too big for this spot. 4' will max this space out. I
will check out those others though - they sound intriging.


thanks muchas!
