golden Cane Palms
I want to plant some of these for screening purposes...from the street
(not permitted a front fence) and from neighbours. How far from the boundary and other plants should they be planted...I know they can get quite big, over time. Also how much time, and whats the biggest, assuming good conditions.......... TIA sue |

golden Cane Palms
g'day sue,
they can cover to around 2.5 to 3 meters in width, but you can also trim the outer trunks off to keep them narrower. would leave about 1 to 1.5 meters clearance to fences, again any that threaten damage to the fence can be removed from the clump. with your front boundry it shouldn't matter if they encroach onto the footpath a little as in most cases you are aloowed a garden bed along your front boundary outside the fence, and fronds and trunks can be kept trimmed or removed for the comfort of others. how fast they grow depends on a lot of things least of which is the medium you plant them in and how much water they get, in a good rich medium with good watering they will grow quiet fast, keep them well mulched. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://home.dnet.aunz.com/gardnlen/ |

tghe golden cane 'dypsis leutescans' was 'chrysaldocarpus' (spelling
of both??) can be let grow quiet dense with new trunks growing up most of the time so yes they can be a pretty good screening plant. len snipped -- happy gardening 'it works for me it could work for you,' "in the end ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do" but consider others and the environment http://home.dnet.aunz.com/gardnlen/ |
