    Glad to hear you, your family and your hedge are all thriving.image

    I've never noticed the wee smell with pyracantha, and the neighbour at our last place had a hedge of it all alongside our front gardens ... maybe it's one of those pongs  that some can smell and some don't.

    There must be a garden centre or nursery somewhere near you where there are human beans on the staff rather than bitter old gits ... image

    Thank you :) 

     The smell is coming from the flowers - before this it was fine.  It's hardly noticeable if you have a bunch of the flowers but we have a tree with millions of them.  When you approach our house it smells like a lavatory; which isnt cool!

    Ah, I must be odd .image.. I like that smell ... but then I also like the smell of Herb Robert which other people say smells of cat pee
