Once it's big enough you can do something called pleaching which is basically removing the leaves on the lower part of the stalk which looks really effective. Where exactly are the garden beds you talk about? It's a bit hard to tell from the pic. Re: 4-6m tropical screening plants around plunge pool 7Jan 16, 2018 11:07 am Don't do Bamboo. The amount of leaves you need to pick up is ridiculous. I was hoping there would be a few more suggestions here for me to steal. We are currently building a house and need to decide on some kind of screening plant for the back fence. What did you end up deciding on? Re: 4-6m tropical screening plants around plunge pool 8Jan 16, 2018 1:53 pm I haven't bought the plants as yet (still organising the raised garden beds), but am thinking about getting a Travellers Palm or two, mixed with a variety of vertical tropical plants such as clumping bamboo, lobster claw and tiger grass. Murraya could be a great option for you. It creates a great tall screening hedge but doesn't drop fruit like lily pilly. The flowers smell divine. 2 10634 Thanks again Simeon for being so elaborate.
