And on the other side of the drive I did the leyland, big ones, about 20 ft tall already. Very nice tree, but what a pain. I can breath on them and they will blow over. Every single little blow we have here they go down. Get the damn tractor out, tie them up, pull them back up. I even have all of them staked with tie downs, still blow over...........But, they do a great job of hiding the neighbor so they work. Very shallow planted, and do not get too much dirt on the base, they will die. Top root collar needs to be at ground level. I have now planted something else inside the Leyland, hoping one day they grow into a "wind break" for the leyland. Everything we do here is a battle one way or the other..........Leyland Cypress?
Fast growing but can become disease.
And that is why I am prickly as hell............ HEH..............Should have planted Devils Walking Sticks..........Prickly and hardy, describes Mike to a T.
If you do think about if you want clumping or running bamboo.I'm considering Bamboo.......
Bamboo. Itâll be ten foot high by the end of summer.
I hear ya, but a lot of people just donât know how to manage bamboo. 6â landscaping edging buried in the ground will stop it in its tracks as the root system is shallow. My familyâs home in Tega Cay incorporated bamboo for the exact same purpose (privacy) since the houses are stacked on top of each other. Never had any problems out of it.Bamboo?
Why not plant something less invasive like kudzu ?
