Very good selection! You chose varieties that I would. And if you want to add security to your screening, add hawthorn, barberry, and/or old rugosa (antique rose). Combine them with one of the thicker hedge and no one will dare enter!
I love Yew❣️💝 Lol 😂. Berries are poisonous though. I dislike euonymus for its invasive habit. It would have been nice if more details were shared, like growing zones.
Croton plants, with their colorful, variegated foliage, can be used as a border or fence line in warmer climates (USDA Hardiness Zones 9b-11), where they can be grown outdoors year-round. However, there are a few things to consider: - Croton plants are not particularly tall. Most species will grow to about 3 to 6 feet in height, so if you're looking for a privacy screen, they may not be the best choice. - Croton plants are not "bushy," so they won't form a dense barrier like some other plants used for hedging. - Croton plants prefer a well-draining soil and do not tolerate waterlogging. Make sure the area where you want to plant them has good drainage. - Crotons require a good amount of sunlight to maintain their vibrant leaf colors. If planted in an area with too much shade, the foliage may revert to green. - If you're in a cooler climate, crotons would need to be potted and brought indoors during the colder months as they are sensitive to cold temperatures. So, while crotons can be used for a border, they may not provide the density or height that typically comes to mind when one thinks of a "fence" of plants. Other shrubs or taller plants might be better suited for that purpose, depending on your specific needs and climate.
Absolutely, that's a great point! Deer can be quite a challenge in many gardens, and it's essential to choose plants they're less inclined to munch on. From the list we presented, some plants might be deer-resistant depending on your region and the local deer tastes. In the future, I'll make sure to provide that information or even consider creating a dedicated video on deer-resistant plants for privacy. Thank you for your valuable feedback! 👍🌿🦌✨
What are the best hedges for Florida climates?
Very good selection! You chose varieties that I would. And if you want to add security to your screening, add hawthorn, barberry, and/or old rugosa (antique rose). Combine them with one of the thicker hedge and no one will dare enter!
Happy to see video
glad to hear that! 😊 it's always great to know our videos bring happiness. thanks for watching and stay tuned for more! 📹🌼
Well done video.
Some good privacy options that take a pruning and still look beautiful: photinia, arbutus, pittosporum, oleander.
Nice choices
Growing Zones???
@@ophira2113 you’ll have to look it up yourself.

Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Would bamboo make best fencing plants
Thanks for the great privacy/screening plant ideas. The only problem is, other than the bamboo, I absolutely want to plant them all.
Great video
Go for it!

Would be important to know which are deer resistant.

Will Arborvitae survive in zone 9b full sun?
Hi dear, thanks for keep following my channel.
Arborvitae will grew better on areas with full sun and well-drained soil. 🌻🌻
Privet is a weed. It's incredibly invasive, seeding itself all over. As an ex professional gardener I beg of you don't plant Privet!
Thanks for the advice. I checked Google before seeing your comment and you are correct. It spreads the roots and grows new trees
@@ricedrown Not the worst I've seen. There are different varieties but I would choose something else, myself.
Hi
Sounds like a computer generated voice, it's awful and the info is minimal.
Thank you for the advice. Next, I will make even better videos. ❤️
