I have just installed a new greenhouse and a dedicated greenhouse forum would be useful to me as I have no previous experience.

Growing laurel at the base of leylandii
from
I have a long row of Leylandii x Cupressocyparis (Leyland cypress) which are thinning at the base. I want to plant Prunus laurocerasus 'Rotundifolia' (Cherry laurel 'Rotundifolia') between each tree. What should I do to ensure success?

Hebe pruning
from
I have a number of Hebes in my garden (Hebe pinguifolia 'Sutherlandii' (Hebe 'Sutherlandii' ) and Hebe rakaiensis (Shrubby veronica). They are all 12 year old and have never been pruned. They are beginning to look straggly with open areas in the centre. What can I do to recover them?

Description of land

The land is east facing and sloping. Some of the bank gets sun throughout the day but much of it is shaded by the overhanging Leylandii.

Ceanothus arboreus 'Trewithen Blue'
from
I have a Ceanothus arboreus 'Trewithen Blue' in my garden. It was very vigorous, if lopsided, but it is now dying, possibly following snow damage a few years ago. The bark is cracking open and each branch is dying one by one. It was planted as a sapling 12 years ago and is now 15cm diameter. The soil is pH 8 and heavy. I would like to replace it; how can I take and propagate cuttings from its one remaining healthy branch and how should I prepare the soil to prevent a recurrence of this problem?

Are there any plants that would add colour and thrive underneath a row of mature Leylandii x Cuprocyparis
