    I'm not keen on cotoneaster either, I've got one I can't get out because at one point an ash tree grew through it - the ash stump has a bird table on it.

    What are those lovely little trees with furry bark and dark pinkish-red fluffy flowers?

    I don't know if the condition would be suitable, but might a nandina fit the bill? Not too big, pretty, evergreen and a bit of an eye-catcher (to my

    Hello Dodo, I'm so sorry for the loss of your parents, it's a lovely way to remember them. I planted a multi stem crabapple tree to commemorate the passing of my grandmother. It doesn't get too big for a small garden, beautiful blossoms as well as the crabapples which keep the blackbirds sustained through winter. I hope your happy with your choice whichever it may be.
