Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jun 15, 2009 1:02 am Hi all Hoping to get some advice on the correct plants to buy for my purpose. I’ve got 1 acre. I may need to do 50 meters or more of them. I have farm fencing and 8 meters from the side fence to the house. I don’t want roots up setting the slab latter on. I want to plan some small trees, plants for privacy & a wind break. I’m in central Vic in a cool climate. What’s a good hardy, low maintance, fast growing hedge, bush, small tree that I can use? Anyone got a few ideas as I’m no gardener. Thanks to all. Kind Regards KW………… “It's just as unpleasant to get more than you bargain for as to get less” George Bernard Shaw.

Due to conifer canker which is wide spread in WA and in particular Perth. It is a fungal disease. http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1089101.htm http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/objtwr/impor ... 04_013.pdf A survey must’ve completed by a certified surveyor.
