[Arid_gardener] 150 ft hedge

[gardenguru]

Petite Pink Oleanders would be my recommendation. It is fast growing, blooms
while it is warm, loves the heat, indures the frost,  it a low water use
plant, does not mind our high alkaline soil and horses no other animal eats
it since it is poisonous.Animals know that it is something not to eat.
It grows to about 4 to 5 ft high and 4 ft wide.
Texas sage will also work and it is not poisonous, but it does not bloom as
often
Hope this helps

Subject: [Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page


> I am trying to find shrubs/trees that can serve as a tall hedge.  It needs
to be at least 4ft at maturity, evergreen, fast growing and non-toxic to
horses.  Does anything like this exist?  I live near the freeway and am
trying to screen it from view.  The freeway is also very loud.  I thought a
hedge would at least help with screening it from veiw. The hedge will be
over 150ft long!  Any suggestions?  Thanks for your help.  Go Wildcats!
