Poncirus trifoliata Interesting and handsome deciduous shrub closely related to<br />

Citrus. Ferociously armed with dagger-like thorns and sparsely<br />

clad with small dark green leaves. Large sweetly scented 'orange<br />

blossom' flowers are produced in spring followed by 2 inch<br />

diameter yellow fruits, bitter and acrid, but may be used to make<br />

a conserve. It has been used to make a hedge, tolerates clipping<br />

well and makes a formidable barrier but it takes a brave heart to<br />

gather up the clippings. To 10ft.<br />

easily grown plant for moist or wet soil in sun or shade. Flowers<br />

in June/July for weeks. Good combined with Hostas. 2ft.<br />

AGM (Arundinaria<br />

japonica)<br />

Broadly conical, slow growing decidious Conifer with bold, light<br />

green soft needles, larger than any Larch's. Autumn colour is<br />

warm yellow, changing to orange over a long period. Hardy, but<br />

best with winter protection when young. Small plants.<br />

Strange 'other-worldly' evergreen shrubs mainly from New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Extremely long, narrow, downward-pointing leaves are dark<br />

purple-brown and radiate from rigid upright shoots. After<br />

reaching a certain height the plant branches to form a head and<br />

the foliage changes. Hardy in a sheltered site.<br />

At first sight it is hard to believe that this is a plant. From a<br />

central stem radiate reptilian brown double-sided hacksaw<br />

blades. Of great architectural value. Hardy in a sheltered site<br />

when established, or grow in a tub.<br />

The most hardy and easily grown of big bamboos. Forms a dense<br />

thicket of olive-green culms with broad leaves of a deep, shiny<br />

green with yellow midrib. Evergreen. To 12ft. . Different size<br />
