OH YE OF
LITTLE FAITH
Spare a thought for
the poor exotic garden designer. After a relatively mild winter
and everybody thinking that this was the winter that never happened
cold artic winds blew in from the north to leave most of the United
Kingdom under a blanket of snow and ice. I have been inundated with
calls from worried customers who still don't have faith in the science
of exotic gardening. Air temperatures of - 3 or 4c and wind chills
of - 7 or 8c did little to ease their anxiety.
The truth of the
matter is that the exotic trees and shrubs were far less stressed
than their owners.
