And, dear BP, don't let the fothergilla soil/size thing deter you. The suckering is very modest - enough to make up for rabbit browsw, for example - but they are very contained. And my soil is quite alkaline, but I keep them happy with a little Ironite spring and fall, compost and pine bark mulch. They take almost no care. I've had them since 1998. This pic has THREE! And they are on the north side of my house, a notoriously bad location in northern Illinois.
