It's not like this all year but very pretty most of the year . I'll send you some if you like .

Looks like a tree peony to me. I take it it drops its leaves in the winter?

Nice idea - Google says they grow to 15m. I've had enough of the trees previous owners speckled the place with.

Can you trim them to keep them about a metre high?

Can I take them from the local woods?

I have some beans you can plant . Will swap for a cow or something .

Hmm, a "sausage tree" to my son as we shopped for seeds....

potentilla , Weigela Monet ,Euonymus, Skimmia , PIERIS,HEBE

Euonymus Japonicus are good. There's a huge number of variegated varieties and they are weed-suppressant. A trim once a year would keep them in check.

This year I put some large pots/ buckets of compost/horse poo in the front garden and I'm growing courgettes and beans in each one. Adds greenery and you can eat it.

You eat horse crap?

@Tin Pot
Where in the country are you? What aspect? What soil? What budget?

Off the top of my head I'd say to go for a British native hedging mix and some wildflowers. Good for wildlife and won't end up looking like Torquay seafront.

It's a tree peony as someone. Not sure of species and cultivar though. Slack eh?

Heathers give good ground coverage and don't require top notch soil, they also look lovely when in flower.
