Excellent, @amancalledgeorge. Thanks for the link.
Thanks @DaveMK. "dislikes hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters". That's a very precise description of what we have here.
Thanks @lolimac. I'll run ilex crenata by my partner. Lonicera: I suspect it might struggle with the heat (when we have some). Air temperature...
Thanks @NigelJ.
