    And now its 5ft tall entwinded itself with cotenaster but birds love it.

    It has beautiful pink flowers when it blooms.

    It grew from self seed by bird many yrs ago as its so beautiful never moved it ,but have to say bees and birds love it.

    When we have pruned well back and underneath MF it can give you impression of looking like a standard or an open umbrella.

    Must be 17 yrs old as we built our house 18yrs ago.

    I am so fed up with all the rain I have some fencing & a gate I want to treat, but as you say.. Wood is soaking wet...!!!!! Oh well, sometime it will be dry enough, I hope..... :rolleyes: :D
