Need Privacy and Curb Appeal for Your Property?

Selecting the ideal plants for a hedge is a matter of aligning the plant’s individual characteristics with your specific needs and local site conditions. You might consider:

• Height for privacy or definition,
• Maintenance level,
• Growth rate,
• Climate suitability.

As with any plant selection, the range of choices and the diversity of hedge types seem almost infinite. Within the evergreen category alone, you could choose a wide array of species from either side of the equator, from the clean, elegant, superhighway-like Podocarpus of southern Africa to the nearly impenetrable bamboo of China. For a distinct tropical feel with robust performance, Clusia hedges are an excellent option.
