Default Anyone clued up on shrubs?

About 6 foot high, columnar rather then the spread out sort,

Preferably fragrant.

Any input.....Ta.


Mmm shade is the problem

Bay perhaps - quite fast growing.
If you want flowers look at various viburnums.


All will need clipping tho except Irish yew which will need topping instead

Aucuba is shade tolerant. So is box, but it takes forever to grow.

Osmanthus is easy to keep clipped and has nice flowers in spring

What soil?
