Ferretboy111 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Depends on when you want to plant it and where the pen is situated, there are some good books to help and researching on the internet or asking the farmer who owns the land could help.

sandersj89 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 laurel plants and rodedendrums bushes Isn't it illegal to plant rhodrodendrons? Yes it is. Bear in mind what Stewardship Scheme the farmer is in as well, some plants will not be allowed. Canary grass might be worth a look at as well.
