I'm thinking of using Mytus communis 'Compacta' as a hedge in the sunniest,
warmest part of the roof garden. I have a couple of concerns though that
some of
you might be able to help me with:
1) Is Myrtus susceptible to Phytophthera, which is taking down the current
42 yr old hedge of Trachelospermum jasminoides (Star Jasmine)?
2) If it is in full sun and happy, how susceptible might it be to thrips?
(which are a problem on M. communis here in part-sun).
