As I said before, certain things *do* grow there, and given a little shelter belt or such, I think it is not beyond possible. It may sound like a lot of bother, but it is worth trying, as it is very important to the people concerned. Thank you Sacha, and all, for your kind suggestions! Cat(h) If you could give us some more details on the site, such as how far from the coast it is, what direction the sea is from the site, whether it's on a headland or a bay, etc. All this will make a difference; 10 feet from the high tide line, on a headland in the teeth of westerly gales, is different from 50 feet back from the coast, in a sheltered east-facing location. In some locations very little, if anything, in the way of trees will survive; in others you could possibly even grown palms (Trachycarpus) and pseudo-palms (Cordyline). -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
