Yes, the last remaining conifer of the three that Vic Smith planted in the sixties is finally gone. We took out the main stems last year, and today the four self-layered pups (10-footers) went. That leaves us with new views up and across the garden and a big open space in the middle of everything to be planted up with--?? The holly seedling that's now a tree in its own right (and with berries this year, hurrah!) will take over the job of the old conifer standing beside the rose arch.
Our new Scharlachglut is amazing us with its super-saturated red velvet flowers. Nearly all the roses are full of flower, even American Pillar, one of the latest.
