    Plants

    I've been looking for some potted plants to green things up at work, but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.

    The plants I've seen (probably shrubs is a more accurate term, although I could be wrong) have a menhir shape (you know, the things that Obelix throws around) are evergreen like a fir tree and stand about four foot tall (including the pot). They're fairly dense looking, and I think they survive outdoors as well as in.

    Any ideas? I know I've seen them, but I can't find them online...

    Yeah, something like that, but potted and grown. I think the ones I saw were a lot neater, but I guess that's down to upkeep.

    I'm looking for something that can be put outside in the warmer months to flank the entrance to the business. Don't know about the hardieness of Yucca plants, but I certainly don't want to get sued by some eejit who decides to take a spill coming through the doors.
