Hi,

I am looking at putting some standards along our north facing front
fenceline in south east Melbourne. I am considering either standard
lily pilly or standard ficus. Anyone have any opions on the merits of
each, or suggestions of other standards? I read that ficus have
invasive roots, but how invasive? Lift up footpath invasive, or get
into cracks in pipes invasive?

Also, how do standards grow? Do they increase in height, or is the
height you buy them at effectively the height they will remain at?

Thanks.
