Need help in selecting a boundary for shelter in our garden in a very exposed area of North Kerry, in the countryside approx. 7km from the sea/coast. I don't want it to grow too high, would like to keep an open feel to the area but creating a shelter belt with little maintenance is paramount something frost hardy. There is a ranch railing running along the boundary presently on that side (westerly side) of the house and i have a border of approx 2ft width of soil to work with inside the fence and outside the gravel drive way. On the other side of the house I have a ditch with 2ft border inside it to work with, need something that will provide shelter and will create a balance with the other side. Both sides are approx 15m away from the house. Hope you can help.

I bought a wisteria plant 3-4 weeks ago. Want to grow it in a pot so bought a good big one but the leaves are turning brown and the plant is not growing.Wonder if the cold weather has anything to do with the fact that it is not doing well. Thank you.
