A GRAND FENCING PLANT. 
MYROBELLA OR CHERRY PLUM 
(Prunus myrobalana) . 
This was introduced some few years ago by the late Mr. Ewing of the Eaton Nurseries, and has undoubtedly proved itself to be the 
very best Fencing Plant ever grown. For rapidity of growth it is unrivalled, and, under fair conditions, will make a capital fence 
in three or four years from planting. It also grows vigorously in the poorest soils, and is first-class for planting in exposed situations 
or by the sea coast. It is quite hardy and will stand the severest frosts without injury. 
The Myrobella does not often fruit in this country save in the South or West of England and in sheltered positions in the 
Eastern and Midland Counties, and then only when allowed to grow into trees or large bushes, it, however, forms a capital stock for 
Plums, and if strong single stems are allowed to grow from the fence at intervals of about twelve feet, they may be budded or grafted 
with choice varieties of this popular fruit, and in a few years will form a most profitable and ornamental hedgerow. 
The best time for planting is in November or early Spring, or it may be done in open weather at any time during the Winter 
months, but in fairly moist weather successful plantings may be made as late as the middle or end of April. In planting plant 
firmly, placing the sets from six to nine inches apart according to size. After planting, about the time that growth commences, 
they should be cut down to eight or ten inches in height. It will bear almost any extent of clipping, and should be cut at 
least twice a year — about the end of July and in Winter or Spring whilst in a dormant state, and should be fairly trimmed the 
first year or two after planting to ensure a good bottom for a strong and thick fence, but -it, may be clipped in to form a fence no 
thicker than an ordinary garden wall, which will be found quite impenetrable. As the plants advance in age the branches become 
armed with long, sharp spines, which make the fence impenetrable to cattle, &c. Myrobella will therefore be found splendid for 
making new or improving old fences, and much superior to Whitethorn or any other fencing plant.

We have received the following communication respecting a large 
quantity of Myrobella, supplied to HIS GRACE THE DUKE 
OF PORTLAND'S Estate, at Bothal Castle:— 
From THOMAS SAMPLE, Esq., Estate Office, 
Bothal Castle, Morpeth. 
Oct. 8th, 1889. 
“I am very much pleased with the Myrobella or Cherry Plum 
plants which you sent me last Spring and which have thriven well. 
I should like to have another 5000 good plants." 
TESTIMONIALS. 
From THE “GARDENER’S MAGAZINE.” 
Aug. 29th, 1889. 
“It is one of the best of plants for a close live fence, for it needs 
hut the most simple management to ensure a free growth from the 
bottom, and this soon becomes so close and so formidable with spines 
as to be impenetrable by cattle, and equally so against human intruders." 
From J. G. THOMPSON, Esq., Shelton Manor, Newark. 
“ The Myrobella you sent me are growing well, far surpassing the 
Thom plantea same time."
