    New year, new garden tweak

    @Perki I think I had that rhamnus alaternus argentovariegata in my previous garden. To my recollection it was not a very tall shrub but pretty foliage.

    It just depends, enough for my needs and some to pass on if anybody wants some. I can always send you some seed from the ones I've got in the fridge.
