Agree with Mr. Grump about the Redtip Photinia. First thing I did when I got this house was to dig 'em up. Mine were unattractive and they too often get unwieldy. Agree Cypress is too big for most yards, but I still like them. Understand about the Bradfords being big and fragile. Those are the reasons I don't have one, but I still like them. Otherwise, I'd put one in right away. :-) Privet may have problems, too, but I still like them, especially the variegated. But I really really really LIKE the Golden Euonymus. Have one in the side strip. It was freeze burned a little over the winter, it is still one of my favorite shrubs. So I'm tasteless and trashy. Eh, so what. There are LOTS worse things to be and I don't have to keep up with someone else's hypocritical and pretentious standards. LOL

Anyone fortunate enough to have Kay consent to marry him in the first place would have been accepted even if he DID choose to give her a gen-yew-eye-en old-fashioned pop top as an engagement ring. She might even have considered it endearing...as long as the big honker stone came right afterward. :-D
