hi Verdun climbers perhaps
A north facing wall is ideal for a morello cherry tree...fan trained, it would look great.
manythanks V
Pyracantha will grow in shade but it won't have so many flowers, therefore it won't have so many berries. I have one under a tree and it has enough berries to make a show even if it's not as smothered with them as it could be in the sun. The birds will like the berries in the winter. Need to take care when pruning as it's very prickly. Keep it in control and snip bits off when necessary to keep it neat.
Hi all i just got 2 skimmeas from our local gard /cen which i dont use too often but they were really nice and got them for £19,99 each 1 white 1 purplely red both very nice ,,so thats a start many thanks and the Morello cherry sounds very good im now looking for one, by the way i spent the morning at the allotment collecting the darlecks and other composters that were blown all over the place, one shed was blown off its base,and at the main gate a coverless pollytunnel stood all forlorn in the hedge,most bird netting was in ruins and plastic chairs all over, it looked like a battlefield and we lost,anyway cheers everybody many thanks
