re:Shadyspot - Rhamnus alerternus

<<My most successful choice to date for this type of problem is
Rhamnus alaternus,>>
That happens to be one of the more typical shrubs of the garrigue, here,
but I've never had the luck to get nurseries to stock it - it's regarded as
scrub!  I'd reccommend it to anyone in a Med climate.  Don't bother to
water; don't bother with much soil, it'll grow from a crack in the rock!
Another bush for hedges thet grows here is Phillyrea (latifolia for
lime,angustifolia for acid) has similar needs to Alaterne, but greyer
leaves.  Gives a marbled effect when the two are mixed together in a
clipped hedge.  Glad to hear, Sean, that  Alaterne is appreciated somewhere
in the world,
 Eric
