Re: Best trees to create border on fence line 5Mar 18, 2012 7:40 am Thank you for your responses. There is a lot more to consider than I first realised! I think we have narrowed it down to a kind of conifer? Something that wont grow to big, so that in 15 years we have no view and are shut in with massive trees. I had been thinking Leighton green but these will grow too high I think. Due to it only being 1.5 acres I don't want the trees to make it seem smaller if they are too big. The search is still on Re: Best trees to create border on fence line 6Mar 18, 2012 5:09 pm Do you mean something like the native hoop pine? (A medium sized tree, quite a good windbreak). My pick might be something along the lines of lilly pilly, ficifolia, with olive leaf grevillia or callistemons or camellias underneath as I need colour and form as well- developer states we must plant trees and/or hedges along all the fence lines. Have just edited this post as I discovered the hoop pine can grow really big (but a lovely looking drought resistant tree, tolerates clay as well.)
