Re: critters > fence ideas

Ah, so THIS is the infamous Devil's Walking Stick mentioned before. I see it is also poisonous. do you think the kids might eat the berries?
The Eleutherococcus, regardless of the name Five Leaved (or five fingered) Aralia isn't an Aralia at all.

Very attractive leaves. Of course, Aralia spinosa has bi- to tri-
pinnately compound leaves and huge clusters of tiny white flowers in
mid summer.

The orange requires full sun.  The mahonia, M bealei, is full sun

takes part to full shade and I have an opportunity for several so I
might create a hedge in front of the the privacy fence.  If you're
not familiar with it:

How about Poncirus trifoliata, Japanese Bitter Orange? Ornamental
and vicious. <g>

If leatherleaf mahonia will grow there, that is the sharpest,
pickiest
stuff.  I planted one between me and the imbeciles next door to
stop the
foot traffic.
