Starting to regret my wintercreeper euonymus.
I have a huge bed and it all started with some trimmings from a commercial bed over twenty years ago, and patience. I have it all under mt magnolia, which is supposed to be bad, but the mag is misplaced.--(see below) and I don'tr mind if the W E slows it down. The W E is tough as nails. at this point I have to hack it back each year to keep it off the sidewalk.
Bigger regret- planting that Little Gem magnolia, too close to the front window and sidewalk. I had to limb it up--ugh- some of the Tree folks would probably shoot me. I wish I picked a smaller thing for that spot and had the Magnolia in another better place. 15 yrs, its too late to move! No I won't consider megabucks to move it.
