Life beyond the Leyland cypress
Article Abstract:
A variety of plants work well as hedges and screens, and people should consider alternatives to standards such as the Leyland cypress and the oleander. These plants are chosen for their fast growth, but are often less than ideal in the long run. A directory of plants divided by geographical region lists numerous options for hedges and screens. Nurseries where these plants are available are also listed.
