Corylus avellana contorta

It`s against the Geneva convention to ignore the white flag.:lollol:

 

what white flag I thought that was yer undies..sorry I aint got me readers on

 

Last year it was about a metre tall and was covered in nuts, which we collected and ate. It was beginning to offend with it's size, because it was sending twisted tendrils out at all angles, thus obscuring many other plants and generally looking a bit untidy. In my unknowlegable way, I pruned it back to a reasonable shape that seemed to fit into our gravel garden plan. It decided to have ago back at me, by growing to double it's size during this year and ended up by looking like one of the Ents in Lord of the Rings. It had to go and so I chopped it up:D
