Home & Garden Best Posts in Thread: Shrubs

Brian...the first one you posted is the fan tree I'm looking for. Now just to figure out where to find one. The wife was told that we should look around Valencia for the shrubs and fan tree, so I guess we will be searching next week.

Thanks,

Shawn

 

Close call for me! As soon as I read about the bushy frontage my mind slipped into gear - but before I could put pen to paper I noted you had been 'punished'. Perhaps that 'abhorrent' could be removed

 

Valencia is full of most anykind of ornametal plant you could think of that will grow here. the 'fan tree" is called banana palm.

 

I had Star Jasmine Shrubs growing between my house and the neighbour's back in Oz, lovely little shrub with many White flowers that worked great as a screen, but I found the scent to be so over powering some nights it gave me a headache! If they sell here maybe your wife will love them, just be warned how strong the scent is despite it being very pleasant in small doses. But they can be used in many ways and can be shaped to suit your application...
