quick growing bushy shrub for a container
Hi,
I am new here and a new gardener on the Gold Coast. Have a lovely wrap-around yard with a few small courtyards of neighbouring townhuses across the fence. I need something very bushy and tall, growing fast in a large terracotta container to cover up one neighbur's ugly pergola posts. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Andr0 |

Lantana works quite well, would you like some for free?
I'll even lend you a spade to dig it out! I have enough to cover all your neighbours back yards! I'm near Gatton. ;) Peter p.s. Bring a trailer and I'll load it with my little tonka toy drott!

Hehe,
This is a lovely offer indeed! Thankyou One problem is that I don't know where Gatton is. Also, Have no trailer or an available 'bloke' to help me. What a shame, I would really love some of the lantanna. But Thanks a lot for a great advice, I will check it out and probably get some if it grows in pots.

I have some lovely Parkinsonia trees, as well as a few Mesquite trees available at no charge as well. I'll also supply them free of charge! A bit further than Gatton(Longreach), so see how the Lantana goes before you try some of my offerings... "andr0meda" wrote in message ... Hi, I am new here and a new gardener on the Gold Coast.

Are you pretty? ;)
I'll drop some off for you next time I drop down to the coast and visit Mum. Gatton is west of Brisbane on the highway to Toowoomba. It's about three hours drive from my farm to anywhere on the Gold Coast. Peter "andr0meda" wrote in message ... Hehe, This is a lovely offer indeed!

Lantana is on the banned list. So you will have to keep the bushes you have
got. Charmaine. |

I read recently that lantana was quite alright for cooler areas of Australia
(NSW, VIC etc.) and was only a 'pest' in warmer areas, where it can possibly grow out of control?! Cheers, Mick "Charmaine Byrne" wrote in message ... Lantana is on the banned list. So you will have to keep the bushes you have got. Charmaine. |

Well, whoever wrote that about NSW doesn't know what they're talking about. Lantana was (and probably still is) a huge problem in the Minnamurra Rainforest, on the NSW South Coast, and I've seen it in bushland around Sydney too.

What were they on at the time? Or did you pay them money? I was lost in a valley of Lantana once around Gosford for most of a day. Well, we knew where we are, but that shortcut wasn't {:-). It is a major invasive weed as it chokes out evertyhing it can cover. |

Hmmm ... ok then, not sure where I read that (online somewhere), but maybe
it was in the context of small gardens / container gardens??? Mick "Terry Collins" wrote in message ...

Well, you've actually hit the nail on the head and highlighted the real problem. People who dump garden plants in the bush. Some of them just get away and are a major problem. |
