  Hi
  I'm new on this board so hello to everyone. I have aparticular bit of our garden that I ned to find a good plant for. We lost a golden type acer that was there last winter. It had been growing quite nicely for about 4 years but the chill has killed it off. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest a replacement. It is at the opposite side of the path to a good sized pampas grass so I don't want anything to wide, upright is better. Flowering would be nice for a change and preferrable above 3 feet in height. It was getting quite a bit of wind too but there's a new fence been put up a one side of the garden so hopefully won't be as exposed as previously. Our soil is a good loam with a medium PH level.
  
  Any advice would be great.
  
  thanks
  Lyn

  ³¢²â²ÔÌý Hi Lynx 2009,
  Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum,
  Ref you asking about something to replace your acer,
  
  A very good hardy but one that has colour all year round is the PHOTINIA,
  
  you can have this as a hedge or as a single bush and it will always have a nice red colour all summer and this changes to green in the winter,
  
  Ive both a hedge around the pool made of this bush and twi individual ones in different parts of the garden.
  
  
  Hope this may give you an idea or two.
  Regards Punpun
