Try looking in the pages at the front of Sunset plants to use
near swimming pools. In my book its on page130 'Treelike Plants



fastigate! A word i have been searching for to describe this.
Thanks! i feel oner word smarter and farther down the path of finding
the right tree, or other space-filling idea. I was planning to build
a roof over my deck next spring, so maybe i can extend it and have a
matching pergola over there. I'll get back at them with a wisteria fed
on miracle-gro. (kidding!) Thanks for the advice!

Here are a couple of ideas to look up in Sunset or your nursery:
both are evergreen, moderate growth, small leaves when they drop
are not a big mess, and both are grown as hedges so they don't
mind pruning. Both grow well here in Butte County which has a similar
climate.
Pittosporum tobira (has very fragrant flowers... better for front than
around a pool, attracts bees during bloom)
Podocarpus macrophyllus

Made me feel a bit better.

So does farting. But it is best done in private.

Not if you have a point to make.

That takes the wind out of my sails;-)

Farting For Freedom is another matter. Come on folks, raise a big stink.
