Privacy hudge suggestions for Houston, TX
"SJE" wrote in message ... I am soon moving into a new home in Houston, TX. Behind my 6ft wood fence, there will soon be a 2 lane road and maybe some mild commericial development. I am looking to plant a privacy hedge. - Want it to be *dense* so it will block all sight and maybe dampen noise. - Plan to make it 8-10ft, but want it to be able to get taller if later decide its warranted. - Will be along a back wood fence, with a resevoir behind me. No neighbor to worry about. - Would like it to grow at a reasonable to quick pace. - Want it evergreen. Houston has hot, humid summers and mild winters (freezes occasionally, no snow). - Needs to be hardy. I do not have a green thumb. I will keep it watered and such, but I want something I don't have to baby along for it to survive. - Will be planted into clay...which is pretty much what all ground soil is in Houston. Does arborvitae grow well in Houston? Or any other dense cedar? Any other suggestions? Thanks! Consider Bamboo. There is a nursery (I believe it is called Ma's nursery - in League City it believe) that has many varieties. If you want to see what it looks like, walk the trail at Hershey park between Memorial Drive and Wilcrest. I now live in Maryland but walk there when I visit friends and family in Houston. |
