Beating the shrub child and putting it to bed

19 years ago

Kimmy brought up sweet shrub which made me think of my banana shrub and Daphne thread. I want all three but if the banana shrub gets as big as bamadave says then it will take up one spot all of it own, which was intended for 2 plants. Here's the conditions, I have an 11 ft long area along a fence row that used to have a rabbit hutch. It also has composted oak leaves. I would like to place 2 shrubs here it gets morning sun and filtered sun through the water oaks the rest of the day. At the end of the row is a 5 ft area with morning and noon sun and less than ideal soil but I can take care of that.

If I place the figo in the shady area will it get as tall as Dave's 11 footer and take up all the room? Should it go in the sunny 5 ft space and place the sweet shrub and daphne in the 11 ft shady space? I'm just not clear on out of the 3 who is the most sun tolerant. I may just have to choose another location entirely for one of them but I AM going to have all 3. The figo is on it's way soon.

Y'all think for me this morning, I seem to be incapable of doing it. Thanks!
