Planted the duranta alba hedge

A wet, rainy day calls for an opportunity to dig into the rock-hard baked soil to plant my duranta plants for a quick hidey-hedge.

It's apparently also called WHITE SKY FLOWEr and PIDGEON  BERRY.

Grows to height and width of 3 metres. Suits me fine.

Two in, two to go. The soil looks damp below, so the recent rains have seeped in successfully. Today's rain will help too.

All now in the ground.

I tweaked and shaped them a little to encourage them to grow sideways. It will take a lot of shaping to get them right, in the months and years to come.

Here's me all wet after the session -

The alba's have not grown much. I think the drought may have had a detrimental effect,. despite my watering efforts. I do love the white flower though.
