    That looks very good though @WillDB. I thought the site was at Plymouth at first but now I'm not so sure.

    Thanks, it's in Bristol (opposite the SS Great Britain). Probably half the plants weren't what we specified but it doesn't look bad considering it was only planted in September. By next September it should be looking very good, assuming it doesn't all rot away over winter!

    Looks good @WillDB. Yew copes admirably with a lot of moisture, so hopefully, it'll be ok. It's a shame when you can't get things exactly as you would like, but plants/shrubs can often surprise us and do better than expected. 
    At least if they fail, you can say 'I told you so'  ;)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Half the Cercis siliquastrum ended up substituted with Acer davidii (see left of photo), but they are such nice specimens I think it worked out well. I will say it was my plan all along.
