Everygreen Shrubs
I have a large number of trees at the rear of my garden and nothing has really grown underneath them other than ivy which has covered the ground.
I would like some advice on what kind of shrubs I can grow the area is half sun and shade and trees above. Looking for evergreen shrubs that will grow quiet fast and reach about 7 - 10 meters high ? |
