Hi rayner gordon ,
Mate these were planted in a grow bed which was burried when the excavator re-cut the new terraces .
Arnold assumed they were just noxious weeds , so he ripped them out and dumped 20 tonnes of fill from the cutting on top creating a new terrace , {instruction weren't clear and precise} . Chinese elm root cuttings and Desert ash trunks were also lost .
A severe thunder storm hit during the works and I wasnt standing around with an umberella keeping tabs on the operator , hence he had to return a couple of month later to re-cut the main terraces
Cheers . Alpineart

sorry to hear Alpine. Im on the lookout for a big cotoneaster to dig theres a few around town and also a couple next to the road outside of town on the way to work, all of them have orange berrys not the normal red. i have a small horizontalis with a base of around 25mm but still raw nursery stock.
Regards
Rayner
