Question from
Gill England
My mother is looking for an evergreen plant that is non-poisonous as it is going to be placed next to a koi pond. The plant has to kept to a certain size and would therefore need to be pruned at least once a year. Is this plant suitable for Hampshire? The bottom of the plant will be protected by the pond wall, but the top will be exposed.
