A few years ago I was given a set of bare root shrubs labelled as native hedging. I didn't look after them very well and by the time I got round to actually planting them the labels had long gone i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/embarassed.gif
Has anyone any ideas what this might be please?

I have a few of them and I thought I might try and plug some Bluebell sized gaps in our already established native hedge.
Thank you! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/smiley.gif

Interestingly I read that it prefers limey soil - they won't get that here!
