The Mahonia Japonica

[whis4ey]

seen here in the first pic simply getting bigger and bigger, has now disappeared
It was simply outgrowing its place, and the flower bed behind it was simply not to be seen
It has since been re-seeded. I am not going to be able to remove the roots easily, so plan to cut across the stump and set a nice large potted plant on top. The area has been fertilised and re seeded today.
It was quite a lot of wortk removing it all I assure you. I did it a little at a time

WOW, it sure was a nice looking beast! Too bad it had outgrown it's location.

OMG Sam, you're right, I wouldn't have known there was a flower bed behind that shrub! I can imagine you had quite the time removing it.
